Abother fantastic day

We have now moved onto our final hub club in the Hammond area. Today we had a great time going around the Fair Oaks Dairy. What an amazing place this is. We went on a bus tour of the facilities with a elementary school group and it was great to hear about biosecurity of the site and see how they undertake the milking 3 times a day of hundreds and hundreds of cows.

Lost the rest of this message but as for today we had a wonderful time with the Gary club and got to be shown around one of the steel mills. It was amazing seeing the equipment and what they do within the mill boundaries. We also got to see the end product of rolled steel although they were having some trouble with their machinery.

Onto our last rotary presentation at the Gary club lunch time meeting. Everything went well with our first minor technical hitch that we soldiered on through. We had a lovely lunch, some great questions and learnt a little more about the rotary family.

We are all quite tired now and after have a look at an old bath house that the rotary group are helping to restore we were taken back to our host families via a native American shop which I bought a couple of items at.

We shared a lovely dinner at Vern's house and got a chance to play with my host families kids.

Hope everyone is well in Australia. The Exchange is very close to finishing now one main day to go.

See all soon
