Ahhh…. the first day of Upward Bound instructor training. Talked through a lot of things, went on a short hike and got to know the other instructors a bit. Great people. Should be a great time. Lots of great events planned. I will keep you posted with some good pics.

Man oh man… so four more stitches, or sutures to be more correct. I think that brings up the grand total to 12 , for the last 4 months. I don’t know, must be doing something wrong. Oh and not to worry, no awful pictures this time *smirk*.
We’re back!!! Paris was a great time. Tones to see and do. I put all our pictures in a Paris gallery so that you can check them out. We saw art, old buildings, towers, dead people, Disneyland, more then 40 old school Mini’s in one day, ate ice cream, ate sushi, ate crapes, went to a movie, walked for more then 10 hours each day, and generally just had a good time. Check it out!
Well it is the end of Spring School and tomorrow morning we leave for Paris. So… chances are you wont be hearing from me for a week or so.
Well Will’s dog had puppies and some of you are interested as to what exactly a husky/boarder collie cross looks like. Well here you go…

Well it is official. The camera is dead. I tried it this morning. If have started a memorial fund. Cheques and cash can be written and given to me. The memorial fund will be used to supplz me with a new camera.
Well today was a better day. After breakfast we went to the waterfall that contained my camera and after the very first dive retrieved it. I now have it back in my possession and I am in the process of drying it out so that I can see if it worked. As soon as we got back we went surfing on the river.

It doesn’t look terribly exciting in the picture, but it was a great time. Following surfing and we had a big BBQ and just relaxed. Kind of rainy today, but all in all a good day. Now if only my camera works once it is dry.
Well the unthinkable has occurred… my video camera is no more. At least not currently. It and the water proof case worked perfectly the entire time we were canyoning. I cot all kinds of good footage, but on the last drop as the case hit the water it opened up, filled up with water, and sank with my camera in it. Right before my eyes. So, depressing. Tomorrow I am going diving to see if I can find it and if I am extremely lucky, which I doubt, it may even work after drying out. Bah… as I sit here I was I was already there diving and trying to save it’s little electronic life. Not to worry though I make 50 Euro/month and the camera was worth about 400 Euro so if I just don’t spend any money for the next 8 months I will be able to buy a new one. 🙁
