Time for another entry. Well the last week of camp was good. The kids left and we cleaned. That wasnt so fun because we scrubbed and sanitised everything – after kids had been using it for 8 weeks! we refilled ifrewood, dusted the rafters etc for the whole da! It was quite an exhausting way to end camp. But finally the time came for me to catch my 3.30am train up to New York! Luckily my friends Intrpid, Moxie and Rayray were nice enough to come with and send me off. Ny was surprisingly awesome. I expected it to be busy and difficult to get around (which i was during peak times). It turned out that my friend Majo (Colombian friend) also webnt up to NY for the week. She had a cousin and cousins friend who knew the place and showed us around and took us to the touristy sopts. Things I did in NY – went to a broadway show and saw The Lion King – yes it was super duper amazing!!, went to some museums – Moma and the Met and others i forget, took a boat ride to see the statue of liberty, went up to the Rockerfeller Tower and saw 360 degree views of the city, saw the empire state building, got lost in central park.. and i Shopped! Conclusions on NYC? Loved it as a tourist but probably wouldnt like to live there. but if i had to, would like to live in mid-town, the south end of central park. it kind of reminds me of Toorak back home.. haha

Bussed up to Boston. I love boston. it is easy, clean and extremely liveable. Not as big as Melbourne but still busy and pretty. Just like NYC there is a starbucks at every corner, and everyone there has a drink in their hand. I waslked the freedom trail – somtething about a revelution and something historic and important! I shopped, saw chruches and walked around. Went to Harvard Uni for the morning and Harvard Law School!! Now Im in Niagara falls. What to say aboiut this place.. its a little quiet, creepily eerie, and kind of deserted (the town.) But the actual falls – the tourist spot is busy. The falls, its nice and big and strong and powerfull. But this place can easily be done in a day.

Oh times up for my computer time. will continue later!

Well, I have been very negligent and have not written on this blog since week one of camp. That shows you that a) I am extremely lazy, or b) I have been extremely busy.
Well it is c) a combination of both a and b. During the 6 day week of camp we do not get much time off. campers arrive on sunday and they leave on friday evening.from monday to thursday staff get 2 hours of break. in that time we usually eat junk food, sleep, or are on a computer. Each day is filled with activities, actually each HOUR is filled with activities. A typical day for example is wake up counselors, wake up kids, breakfast, two hours of boats, one in crafts, lunch, rest hour, archery one hour , two hours climbing the wall. dinner, evening activities and showers. staff unit meeting, make sure kids are still in bed, take our own shower if we choose, then to bed usually around 12am. Its really an exhausting job!
