It was quite the jouney across the Pacific. My stop in Fiji proved to be worth the time due to sitting next to Pedro at the little cafe in the airport. Never thought I would travel all the way to Fiji to meet such a great guy from Mexico City.
I arrived in Melbourne at 5:30 my time on a Saturday. I was picked up by Belinda, my contact I have had since the beginning. The drive through Victoria was absolutely beautiful and extremely green, despite the fact that this area is in a constant drought. I was taken on a brief tour of the area that I will be working in and then we proceeded to Eildon... Eildon is a really small tourist town on a Lake and a nearby river. Trout fishing seems to be the number one business here.
I got into the staff house quite late but was greeted by some great people who I now call friends. Geoff and Tom are from Adelaide and seem reallt amazing.. I could see myself hanging with the guys quite a bit. There is a girl from England, a guy who has been living in Salt Lake (small world), and a girl from Oregon. I meet everyone else tommorrow morning at 8am. I start training directly at this time and will be away from a computer until Saturday.. I promise to tell all about my week.. I miss everyone.. Especially my family.. I love you all...
