A good couple of months ago now, I was lucky enough to travel to Salem, America, and work on their conference centre, Mclaey. I was there for the full month of May, along with two other girls from Alaget, Mary Parkin, and Lieske Kobes.
Ive got loooads of pictures from that trip, and have finally managed to get them onto one sight, captions an all, for your enjoyment.
Actually, they are mainly for my Nana in England, who has recently become computer wise and is surfing the net like a top pro... (well, nearly.)
They are also for you, Mum and Dad so you can see that I didn't get up to any mischief.

I find that I love Americans! They have essentially a brilliant sense of humour, love good food, and are so very cute. I once thought that Americans were kinda fake, but I found out that they are actually just very earnest in all that they do, whether it is irrigating the land, celebrating a holiday, welcoming strangers or telling a joke. I discovered this earnestness, and attention to detail as I spent the better part of my month there, meticulously sanding, sparkling and re-sanding little holes in skirting boards. I tell you, never before has the presentation of skirting boards been so laboured over.
But I'm back now, ticking off a place on my "to go" list, having gained a ton of new friends and experiences, and though the tan has faded, the memories never will...(ahhhh haha, how corny, but quite fitting as this is America we are talking about!)
The link really should work now!! But you never know, I just cant help but be hopefull!
