I shaved this morning and my shave gel is running low. By my estimations that means I've been gone about a month. The days of the week have been lost to me this past month. Today was Tuesday and we transferred to the Mt. Warning Club who will be our last hosts before we head down to Yamba for district conference on Friday.
Our meeting place from Gonnelebah (I spelled it wrong I know) to Mt. Warning took place at Byron Bay. Byron Bay point is the farthest eastern point on the Australian mainland. My teammates Shawn, Beth, and Mike got to visit this site on their very first day with the Tweed hosts. It is quite a sight to behold. I would have seen this my first day also, but I was at an even more interesting place...the doctor. So today was my chance and our leader Joe's to visit this must-see Australian landmark.
I must update you on the status of our team presentation last night in Lismore. The Missouri team presented first, followed by the Arizonans. Leader Joe Beltz brought his A-game and killed last night. The rest of the team performed equally well. We blew(my opinion is biased mind you) the Arizona team out of the water. I have to give a shout-out to Larry from the AZ team. Larry is a Mizzou grad and did the MIZ cheer. I know Beth and I yelled out the ZOU cheer back to him. The Aussies didn't know what to think...and with only three people participating...MIZ-ZOU doesn't pack the punch it should. At the meeting there was also a fellow who had ridden his motorcycle through Jefferson City once for a Rotary fundraiser. So he knew about my town!
We have a morning presentation at 7am tomorrow, then off to some museums and a swim in the Pacific weather permitting. Thursday...Thursday I get to visit a book binder. It has been arranged by my wonderful host Anne. This guy's bindery, like my dad's business, is pretty much a one-man-show! So I can't wait to see the comparisons to our business. I am really looking forward to this vocational day!
OH, and I mentioned that district conference is this weekend in Yamba...guess what else is happening in Yamba this weekend...A Relay for Life! That's right, they have Relay in Australia and I sure hope I get to visit. I'm going to try and get some stuff and see how they do things.
OMG That is so cool! I am a county volunteer for the Relay in Howell County. I've been the PR person for six years now. So bring me back as much "purple" stuff you can. That is so cool! I hope you get a chance to go. I'd love some pictures too of some of their ceremonies and campsites and whatever else might be different from our! COOL... MIZ----
ReplyDeleteZOU! I just sent you an email regarding the Relay. I hope I make it too!
