one week down...

ive officially been here one week! and a wonderful week it's been. below there is a picture of some of the kids i worked with at the after school holiday program. if you want to see the picture in better quality/larger you can just click on it. they were all so sweet. it was sad to leave them after only a week to go to my permanent placement but after my first couple weeks here i think i'll have the option to go back a few days a week in the afternoon which i would love to do! they are so welcoming with hugs and kisses and love! its wonderful..

we have been all over town, seeing beautiful sights and going on adventures. so far ive been to the botanical gardens, signal hill, to the water front... all over the city! its wonderful, i love it here! 

my biggest adventure so far has been shark cage diving where we got to see great white sharks up close and personal! it was much less scary than i thought it would be, i felt completely safe but it was an incredible experience!!!! i have good pix to show you guys.. i dont have an underwater camera but i got some really good surface shots! we also were able to see a mom whale and her baby! it was unreal to see a creature that huge in the wild! 

i love it here! how could i not?
