Weekend fun...

Well, since our last posting we have not went on any big trips, but we have been having a blast hanging around Adelaide. We recently went to the town of Wilunga then to the McLaren Vale wine region and visited the Wirra Wirra and Penny Hill wineries. This past weekend we able to do some great hiking in Morialta area, which has some nice waterfalls, cliffs, and caves. Yesterday we went mountain biking which was great, nice cool weather and we found a park with heaps of trails and some nice singletrack.

We have also been hanging out with several other exchange teachers as well. We spent a day up at the beach at Somefore visiting our friend Ginger, she is on exchange from Canada. She has a very nice big house on her exchange with an outdoor pool (she even has a pool boy who comes and cleans it). There were other exchange teachers there as well, Paul from Colorado, and Larry and Caroline from Canada as well. It was a great day and we went for a long walk on the beach, and then went out to lunch for some tasty fish and chips. We also have started a weekly movie night with several exchange teachers. Last weeks movies were the Big Lebowski, and the Princess Bride. After watching the Big Lebowski we set up our own bowling game in Paul's house with empty beer bottles. We managed to break several bottles and no one was able to roll a strike, but we had a blast. Next week might see Quiton Tarintions Pulp Fiction and Monty Python's Holy Grail.

In June we have an upcoming trip on a houseboat for the weekend on the Murray River. Other upcoming trips include going to Alice Springs, Uluru, and then flying to Cairns to spend a week at the Great Barrier Reef in July. We have also added some Colorado photos to our blog photo section- Kim has been getting requests from her co-workers about her life back in Colorado in the United States. So now they can check out the blog and some pictures of the Rockies and the wonderfull place we live.
