We got to spend a lot of time with the local people down there. We learned a lot about their culture, their way of life.

The whole thing was an enlightening and self-fulfilling experience.

Getting the materials we needed was difficult because there was such a high demand for them.

Let's face it. It's obviously a time for caution. People are a bit quieter and taking things a bit slower.

We are also getting to the time of the year when the weather's getting cooler and you will see people from all schools getting better.
