Hi,
Everything is still going well here. The days go by pretty fast. We get up at 7:30 and start work around 8:15-8:30. The family is building four decent sized cabins that they want to rent out. Eventually they will have a health spa and-since the mother is a mid-wife-that will fit in with their life nicely. We are doing lots of different things on the property and this wek we have been working longer days for extra money which is very nice. They feed us really well so that is much appreciated. they tease us that we always eat, but that is probbly the truth. I was already down a notch in my beltbuckle, but I think I've gained all that back and more in the week we've been staying here. There is another guy staying here who is around thirty-years-old and he is a vegitarion. One of the daugfhters is also so we don't eat a lot of meat, but we had sushi the other night and they always make their own bread. They moved from Holland about three years ago and they still talk in Dutch amongst themselves quite often. They speak english very well though. It's strange they are always having their freinds and neighbors over to eat, but they are all Dutch immigrants aswell. I just sit there looking stupid and occasionally say "yah" or, if dinners ready "comen eaten." We'll take some pictures of the project and the town. We plan on staying around here until Monday or Tuesday. We'd like to stay until we reach a good place to stop with the painting... We are working with several cool people from new Zealand, Brazil, Germany, France, Wales, England, and one Chvek guy. It's quite the international occasion. The Brazilian is a surfing expert and we might go out with him later today or tomorrow even though the water is cold and the weather isn't that nice. It would be a lot of fun.

Hey Boys, nice work finding a good job so fast! Hope you're drinking lots of Milo and not eating too many steak pies (cows died for that you know). Working on finding you guys some cheap tickets over to Sydney, since you're apparently rolling in the dough. Think you can make it over for the U2/Kanye West show next weekend? mwah ha ha. I MISS YOU!
