The third week here was pretty action packed. On Monday some of us South Africans took a bus to downtown Miami. We went to the Bayside waterfront and spent the evening there. The buildings and ships there are really big, Apparently it's not that huge compared to New York but it was still amazing and a very scenic experience. Ate a nice Steak roll there and visited the hard rock cafe and strolled through a bunch of tourist shops. Nothing to different from our Waterfront, except all the people are American.


Teusday, Wednesday and Thursday were great days for me as I got to play golf on each of them. Teusday I played with Luciano, my boss, at Boca Rio (course where I work). And then Teusday evening we had Bible study again. We went through the book of Jonah and Mike and I played a few songs aswell so we had some praise and worship going. Then Wednesday myself and Mike played with Denver (a South African guy we met here) at Boca Pointe. And Thursday with Darryl at Boca West. So I've been smiling the last few days because before this week I havn't played much golf.


We also had Johan's 21st which was a surprise party. Apparently a bunch of his friends gave him pink massaging slippers and pretended that that was all he was getting for his birthday. So he was quite down most of the day, until later when he got a huge surprise party thrown for him. We had a good time partying. A group of us got him a guitar and signed the back.


This weekend should be good. Visiting Darryl on Saturday in Coconut creek and then going to a portuguese church on Sunday night with a friend from work. Should be interesting as the service will be in Portuguese.


I finished work early today so now I'm off to the gym for a bit and then to the tennis courts with Roger to get my butt kicked again. Mike will probably come too if he's back from visiting Kayleigh...ooh :-)
