Friday 18th

While I am able to post this blog tonight I will catch up on what has happened to me to date.
Today, Friday, was another vocational day.
I began, however, with another early start as I learned there was a Rotary meeting of Gilford club at 7am. Robyn also came along with her host, Cassandra, and we gave another very brief impromptu talk about ourselves and the GSE program.
Again we split into separate groups with Teresa and David going to the hospital and Amanda and Robyn off to school. They gave a talk to a Year 3 Elementary School class. We joined for lunch at a TAFE catering school and went in different directions for the afternoon again. Teresa and I went to a conservation farm and sanctuary where we tried hard to find moose and deer but did at least see a sugar house. It was all locked up but you should have been here last week!! We did hear a woodpecker nearby though and that was pretty exciting and we found a sled leaning against the wall which was crying out " try me, try me", so we did.
It was a free night with hosts again. As Abe was busy and Lynn tied up with her variety show, I was invited to hang out with Amanda and her hosts. We had a great night at home with Garry and Marcia. Went shopping for mussells and fish, had a few drinks and finished with a night of cross-cultural fun and laughter.
Tomorrow is a day at the lake with host families and drivers.
It's all good (says Amanda).
