TALKING LUNCHWe were treated on Friday to another Gringos Day Out with G and CC. At about 8.30 am Mark got a call from G saying he would pick us up at 10 - Mark originally thought he must have had an arrangement to help sort literature or something - which would have really annoyed me cause we had planned a day off. Anyway it was all good and off we went on our little adventure. We went south this time about 40 or 50 kms I guess (can't really tell as the road twisted and turned quite a few times). Eventually G had to park the van cause we could go no further - the road was being worked on and was in a very bad state. Not the best news when you have been walking up hills all week but the view was worth it when we finally arrived. None of us were particularly dressed right for the occasion(all of us had heard G wrong about our detination)and it was a little cold but we survived. It was nice to get out of town and to stop thinking for awhile about all the whanau (family) in NZ being together and having fun. For those not in the know - this time of year is summer in Kiwiland and everyone goes on vacation. We always get together with family or friends and enjoy barbeques, picnics and generally good times so being alone this year is a little strange.

*Kia ora Gringos in Spanishland,
And Mark we have named you the silent man!
*As we have noticed that through most of the bloggs you have little to say,
But somehow Beth manages to get you to fool around and pose and lead the others astray! lol
*Yes Beth I can imagine you would be missing whanau and friends this time of the year,
We had a a great barbie saturday nite with the Keane & children their partners,& others wishing you were here!
*Maria was telling us about her experiences and meeting up with you both was a blessing,
It made us feel closer to you it took that empty feeling away of you both Missing!
*We had the traditional barbie meat, salads, veges, pavalova and fruit salad,
Yummy, yummy it was most excellent unlike your scary fish not very appetitising and harsh on the Palate!

"Do you really want to eat me?"
Sounds like a Culture Club song...
Marisa - that song was in my head when I was putting that together - but I couldn't make anymore words up to go with that line!
Alice - nice to hear from you again - glad you are having fun. Made my first Pavalova here the other night for the americans and they loved it! Will try it out on the Ecuadorian friends soon and let you know what they think of it.
*Marisa,

*Beth good one! I finish it off for you.
