Just a couple photos taken last weekend when we took a day trip to an old quarry on the outskirts of town. It has been turned into a park/reserve and is really quite beautiful. Coming from Mexico where you don't often see that many beautiful parks that are so easily accessible, I have been enjoying the outdoors here immensely. There is a good chance I may get to snowboard this coming weekend! Wooohooo. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one as Amber hasn't yet given me a green light (some talk about not wanting me to fly back with a broken leg or such...), but where there is life there's hope.

I am expecting some sort of reply or update on my visa status next Thursday (your continued prayers are much appreciated) and will hopefully have news of the future then.

Un abrazo to the amigos all over!

...will be here at least a couple more weeks it seems. We got the first snow of the season last week. Missing the warm aussie weather but enjoying every minute of my stay. Te extrano mi amor.

These have been posted on Amber's blog but here goes for those of you who may have not yet seen these. They are pretty much self explanatory.

Yup, a little moon is rising. I am soooo excited! The little one arrives in late November! Qué emoción! So apart from husband I am now also a father. Quien diria. It's hard to explain just how happy simply knowing this makes me, but I can hardly wait for that little baby! Those are the big news and I could not ask for more. I love you Amber!

In other news; I am currently in kiwi land, staying with some very nice people in Christchurch, New Zealand. Thank you for your hospitality Mark and Joy!

It is beautiful here, cold and wet in the winter, but beautiful. I had never been to a place where the sun goes down at 5:30... it's cool. Everything is very very green, so many trees and flowers. It's been raining almost every day since I arrived but today there was a little sun peeking out from behind the clouds and I struck out for a cliff walk. Took some pictures (will post those when I get back to Adelaide), outstanding scenery. Flying back in a few days (I miss my lover and my baby) and will have more news then.

Fam and friends, the news may take a while to make it on here, but I have not given up on keeping you updated.

Un abrazo!

I'm going to be a dad!
