Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! We’re proud to report that we all managed to get our butts up and to the Sacred Heart Cathedral for 8:30 a.m. Mass. We’re also proud to report that Jen’s plan to wake up at 6 a.m. for a run didn’t quite work out…makes the rest of us non-worky-outy people feel so much better!! Matt, of course, managed to wake up early for a long walk (every time we get together at a pool, Matt is the only one who swims while the rest of us “wade” and work on our tans.) After a somber Easter service, we went home to our host families for Easter lunch.

We met up again at 1 p.m. to go to the Bendigo Winemakers Festival in Castelmaine. You’re not new, so you know how this team “sampled” the local wines. We also got a cheese fix with more blue vein cheese, soft white cheese, quince paste and bikkies. We love Australia!!

So, here we are again, sitting around a table as a team, reviewing the schedule for the next couple of days…again. What are we going to do once we return to Nebraska? How are we going to manage to get through our day-to-day lives withour our team leader, Judy, to review our schedules with us? We refuse to think about life after Australia…we’ve got less than a week left and we’re planning to make the most of it! We’ll start tonight with a gathering at the local pub…nothing says Happy Easter like pub food and drinks!
