Vocab I am from Columbus Ohio in the states. I am going to australia this summer and i was going through this site and just browsing through blogs when i came across yours. I am enjoying your blog thus far, but one thing is bothering me though, what exactly does "spruik" mean?
Classroom Activity. Dear Fred,
A teacher collegue and I saw you 'spruiking' at Ulladulla on the 18th jan'07.
It prompted us to include the ozflag campaign in our resources for a year 9 english unit on Australian identity.
It was a shame we didn't get to speak to you personally, so i appreciate the chance to contact you through this blog.
The web site is very good, especially the ability to print the poster to show the students.
Thank you for your hard work and all the best.
Lorraine.
yay Hi Dad, it sounds fabulous, glad you and loving it still..... after so many months on the road.... i do miss you tho. Oh well. I dont know when I am going to come over. I am thinking about my travel plans but it seems that i dont really have enough money. We'll see.

Determination Sounds wonderful. keep up the good work. MOM You are following your dream and having a good time doing it. What more can one ask for? Love merle
love your journ-al/ey hi fred, thank you for your imperfect, sometimes delightful, oft times palpable, profane and prophetic prose. stuck, as i am, in a sydney office and to be able to shuffle off on a voyeuristic daily voyage is a distinct pleasure. you symbolise all that is important about this world - change. change to grow, change to improve, change to find revelation in perspective. bravo!
sebring hi fritz! its gram and kate on sunday may 14th
had a great time with carl and sue and jenny and family yesterday
looking forward to your call
love from gram and george and kate
OZ Hi! If all works out with Erin adn Josh we are considering coming to OZ in Sept.( and then going to NEw Zealand). Would you be on the east coast? We could meet up there and then go on to NZ.
Your journal is great - I read everyone and follow your adventures. You should write a book someday!
Love, Alice

Hi, 'spruik' is like hawking in American. It means to sell by talking to lots of people or something like that.
