Mike was here for a week, we had a great time, kiteboarding 6 out of 7 days. As a bonus, he got a real taste of "Americana", being exposed to stuff like SUV's, glacial A/C in all indoor establishments, local TV station*junk* programs (e.g. headline news one night: cheerleaders drinking alcohol on a school trip), and even some intellectual conversations with local rednecks.

Tommorrow off to Las Vegas for the weekend Bachleor Party rage. Will post pics next week - they should be interesting....

Thanks for everyone's posts on my move to OZ!
