Amy and Jane
Amy left for Sydney on January 10th and stayed with Sarah, Kareen, Daniel and Sophia for a couple of days before going out to The Kings School in Parramatta to attend the Gondwana Choral School 2009.
I left Perth January 18th for 9 days in Sydney. Here is a snapshot of my visit.

Welcome Back Andrew
On Tuesday 13th January we welcomed Andrew back from his RYE year in Sweden. I almost didn't recognize him as he came through the customs doors atb the airport - long hair, skinny and he was looking really happy although very tired after hi long plane trip.
His day was very long on Tuesday as we had a farewell dinner for Luiz before taking him to the airport. I am sure bed was looking very inviting when he eventually got there about 1.30am!!
After an early start on Thursday morning at the West Perth Rotary meeting we stopped in at Ikea before running some other errands. Andrew was happy to see some familiar Swedish products - food and other that he will be able to get out there!

2009
Although I hadn't intended to see the New Year in, Amy wanted to do so for the first time so I stayed up with her. We didn't do anything much - just watched a movie as the clock ticked over!
On 7th January we had a Farewell Picnic for Luiz in Kings Park with several of the other RYE students who are in Perth.
Luiz gave a talk at West Perth Rotary Club on January 9th and thanked the Rotary Club and host families for the wonderful time he had had.
Next was the Farewell afternoon tea for Luiz at his Counsellor's House.
On his second last day Luiz, Matt and I trekked all the way out to Caversham Wildlife Park but it was definitely worth it. We saw kangaroos, koalas, many different types of native birds and could go up close and take photos. Here a a few of the great pics we took!
On his final day in Perth Luiz came out to the airport and welcomed Andrew back then we all went to dinner at La Porchetta in Fremantle before heading to the airport again to send Luiz on his way back to Brazil.
It was an absolute delight having Luiz as part of our family and I know we will keep in touch and see each other again hopefully in the not too distant future.
