Looking Back, Leaping Forward

The event that has been marked on our calendars as the thing tha would suddenly send time into crunch-time mode has finally come and gone: Will's family coming to visit

Back at the end of last semester we would say to eachother, "You know, as soon as your/my parents come in April, time is just going to fly by and before you know it we'll be gone".

Well, April is here, we went up to the Yarra Valley for a wine tour and then up the Queensland to check out the Great Barrier Reef and now it is Monday, April 23--just around the corner from May.

With just a bit over a month left here, we are going to have to start doing some actual prepwork. The most important things:

  1. Finding a home for Sophia --our cheeky little pet mouse
  2. Selling stuff like our DVD player, futon, etc.
  3. Our thesis!
  4. Doing something with our friends every week without fail
So far I have found 2 other people who will be in our El Salvador group, both girls. There must be others somewhere in America. They should get online and find the Yahoo group. Everytime I do a search for blogs, this one comes up in 75% of the results! Hmmm.

Unfortunately there was a cyclone that hit the day we arrived up there so, it rained the whole time and we couldn't make it out to the proper reef. We ended up going to Green Island--very disappointing and it was raining.

I sat on the beach with an umbrella...

My only chance to get up to QLD and a cyclone has to come--from what I hear it's now about to seriously ravage the Darwin area.

The last cyclone up there messed up the banana plantations and you now have to pay $6-$7 per a kilo!

It's kinda cool that you are looking to meet your fellow pc on line.

Have fun with the family visit !

Hey I was just surfing the web and I happened to run into your blog. I will also be heading to El Salvador June 5th for municipal development. When you get a chance send me an email mcladd@mac.com

The only reason I signed up for the blog was to send you my email address.
