Bikers!

Well I can't believe we have made the switch from 'quads' to motorbikes! Never thought I would see the day!

But like they say - 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'. When in Lillooet, do as the Lillooeters do! They all ride 2 wheelers (motor bikes)!
We completed the set on Sunday by purchasing my bike - a Honda 150, Alistair and Kyle have Honda 230's and Tamzin has a Yamaha 125.

2 nights ago we set out for our maiden bike ride - but that came to end when Tamzin's front tire went flat 5 minutes up the trail.

Last night we headed out again - with much better success. I only fell off twice and Tamzin fell off once. In case you were wondering - we are both OK!
We had a great time. There are so many trails to ride on round here - It is like the bike riding 'mecca'. We rode up to where the pylons are and got a great view.

I look forward to exploring more - I can do without the falling off though............

Snake!

This morning Kyle and Alistair found this snake in the carrot shed. I have no idea what type it was. Carmen, one of the girls who works for Alistair, came in and picked it up and took it outside. She wasn't scared one little bit. It didn't even try to bite her! I wouldn't be that game.




He coiled himself round her arm!





He was quite shy - kept wanting to hide.

Tamzin saw a snake in our veggie garden this week. Yikes! We will have to step carefully.

Last week Alistair was visiting the neigbour and they found a rattle snake in the garden. He got the gun and shot it!
I hope we don't come accross any rattlers here................

Between bears and snakes I don't think it is safe to venture outside!

ASI

Well here we are at ASI - Adventist-Laymen's Services & Industries in Sacramento California. It is like the 'Home Show'! Lots of exhibitors - all sorts of ministries that people are doing around the world. There are lots of adventist 'celebraties' here. It is very interesting.

We left Monday night, we drove ALL Tuesday, collecting young people along the way to take part in the ASI / Fountainview Orchestra which is performed here at ASI.
It has been a pretty busy few days but it has been good.

The orchestra backed Jennifer LaMountain, Rudy Micelli, Steve Darmondy last night - it sounded great.

Today some of our group are off rafting the American River - Kyle, Tamzin and I are 'maning' the Fountainveiw booth for the day. so hopefully it will be a bit slower day than yesterday was!



Fountainviews booth.

We still have 3 days here. They have a some more performances to do. Lasts nights one was live on 3ABN, and they do another one on Saturday night which will also be live on 3ABN - check it out.
