PICTURE: A walk on the Esplanade overlooking the ocean(see any crocodiles?)
Well we are in our second week in Cairns. Things are good, we are still at the global palace hostel till tuesday and then we check out and are moving into the apartment.
We have started the big job hunt, which has been alot harder than we thought it would be. There is just alot of people looking for jobs in Cairns, and more people than good jobs i guess. Its the opposite of Calgary. The hard part for the two of us is that its mostly the coffee shops and restaurants that hire backpackers and they of course want you to have experience, which neither of us have in those fields. How ever there is a few accounting and hairstylist jobs open that we have seen so instead of something new, i think we may be doing the norm well we are here in Carins and then maybe something different in our next destination. The nice thing here though is that the stylists get paid hourly so it wont matter that i dont have a clientele yet.
We have found out though that there are quite a few beaches and areas like Port Douglas and Palm Cove around Cairns that you can go into the ocean and enjoy the beach life again, so we may just have to go give those a try. They are not to far away so you can just take a bus.
Well all in all we are still doing well, still in love and have not killed each other yet if any one was worried! But we love you all and miss you tons and hope to hear from you soon. Good Day Mates!!!
Love Jen and Glenn

Hi Jen, Glenn
Glad things are going good! Hot weather officially here. 34 degrees predicted for July 6 (Stampede parade day). Rick, Greg, Steven and his dad all went golfing last Sunday. Rick won! (Do you think there was any cheating going on?) Hmmm! Guess they had a good time. We're off to Pincher Creek next Saturday for a wedding. Last Sat. nite we went over to Hank Kroen's for bbq. Was a beautiful nite and had a nice time. Pincher Creek people all coming up tonight for Stampede. Collette, Curtis & kids parking motorhome in driveway. Should be fun. Greg and Shannon leave for Vancouver Island on Saturday. He got his car fixed. I think it was $2000 (ouch). Rick and I booked a 4-day Las Vegas getaway Aug. 6 to 10. Looking forward to some down time. Didi you try www.seek.com.au for your job searches? Love.....
Hi guys; It's been great to hear from you this way and it seems to make the distance less. Sounds like you've been having a ball so far. Just wanted to let you know that baby girl Brandon arrived safely Sat 7th July {)07-07-07} and she weighed in at 7 lbs. 15 oz. and has black hair but no name yet. Mom and babe are fine and Sydney is delighted to have a sister. We are going down Sun and will bring Luke back with us and then head up to the condo for 8 days on Mon. Guess he's a busy boy and loves to climb so we are going to be busy. Must go as I have lots to do. Bye for now Love Aunt Pat
