So what have I been up to...well all pretty much same same (i dont mean that to sound bad!)...the last weekend (5th/6th) took a long over due city tour...typical tourist!!! But it was good to get all the history and stuff...we also went to outside the city, to the over side of the park and up into some of the wooded hills overlooking the place, which gave some amazing views. We finished up at a HUGE church which can seet something like 100k people? I have picture...
