I went to the first Wellington beer festival on the weekend and it was awesome! Doesn't matter if it rained for most of the day, then really windy... but once the weather calmed down in the early evening, everyone started enjoying themselves even more.
If you have loved my blog entries from Santa Teresa then I guarantee you will love the Connect Mission Project blog. A few of my friends are heading over to Vanuatu to build a classroom for one of the local schools there. Read more about my friends Natalie, Ali, Michael, Laura, Lucy, Katie, Jenny and others at the Connect website and keep up to date with their blog at http://connectmissionproject.wordpress.com/.
Thanks for eveyones emails and blog messages over the last few weeks. Its been an awesome experience and I'm glad I could share it with you all. I will try to wrap things up here and provide an overall look from my prospective.
Just got an email from the Wellington City Council regarding their Cycle into Summer program and it just keeps getting better and better! Its great to see the Council actively promoting cycling and the best part about this program is that its FREE!! I biked the bays earlier this year with Ingo from work and would highly recommend it! Its a great way to get fit, heaps of people are doing it so why don't you join me!
What a week and its almost the end of my stay here argh... doesn't time fly when you are having fun! This week hasn't been as action packed as other weeks but still a lot has happened so I will try my best to give you a good run down...
This week has been full on and a lot of work but its been really cool to help the brothers out when needed and feel more like I am part of the community! I don't know if it just has something to do with the time of year or the fact that I am just visiting the right place at the right time but it certainly makes for good blogging :-P
Its been a few days since I last blogged and a lot has happened so will try to be brief. Thanks everyone for your emails and messages, it means so much!
The heat has been uncomfortable - its not at all like the lovely weather back home lol. I am kinda getting used to it but everytime I go outside it really hits you.... and inside usually isn't that much better :-( you can't really escape it..... All I need to do is drink heaps of water and harden up haha! Having a fan in my bedroom makes it a lot more comfortable at night.
Day 2 - 4, I am now in Santa Teresa and loving it! No cell coverage as my phone doesn't support the cellphone connection here but there has been lots happening so will blog about as much as I can as to what has been happening over the past few days over here. Contact me via email for the time being till further notice.
If you don't know what is happening to me now, I am off on an adventure of a lifetime over to a place called Santa Teresa (which is roughly an hour south of Alice Springs) to live and work in a community of Marist Brothers who teach at a local school in the community there. I am not too sure whats going to happen but you will find out by reading my blogs over the next 4 weeks and hopefully share in my experiences and maybe even come out yourself one day? Who knows...
