More USA

Hey all, 

Well its been a while ... a very long while actually since I updated this ... I'm doing it especially for AMY HICKS!!!! Are you serious that blog reading is better than soap operas?!?!?!

The second week away was just as eventful as the first. I was invited to go kayaking ... with alligators (!) on the Tuesday and then in the evening attended a bible study in a local restaurant. The guys there were great, they baked me a cake and put up a "Happy Birthday Princess" banner for me (hmmm). 

I was also invited to go to a mens lunch at Wycliffe Bible translators with a couple of the guys from Man in the Mirror ministries. Pat Morley (the head honcho at Man in the Mirror) spoke, there was a Chile cook-of and the biggest pile of pizza's I have ever seen in my life!

Friday lunchtime was spent with Tammy and Brian and some of Brian's work contacts. We dined (in a very posh restaurant in downtown Orlando) with a lady called Tina (see the photo ... she never smiles!) an ex-supermodel (Chanel, D&G, Robert Palmer music videos ... that kind of thing!). The food was amazing and I didn't have to pay as long as I recorded a cell phone answer message on Tina's phone in my best British accent! 

Friday afternoon was spent with the music director at Aloma, Mark, he's such a cool guy. WE chatted about all sorts of stuff ... music, counseling, the church, vision, life in general ... you know those kind of conversations? It was great. 

Sunday morning was church as usual (getting up at 6, being at church at 7 argghhh) and then off to the airport in the afternoon to find that I was 7 kilo's over weight! (my suitcase that is, not me personally). 

It was a really cool time in the US and I met so many great people ... I wanna go back!!!
