Hopoate



The last week has been very quiet on the work front excepting Saturday where we hosted a wake for a young local man who was swept off a fishing boat.
It was a fairly sombre affair but needless to say the amount of drinking performed, particularly by the older men was mind blowing. The whole place was standing room only and we probably had half the town through during the day.
On a lighter note we have had some real snow, not just slush although it didn't last very long on the ground. The temperature has been right down and today we were lucky enough to have some sun allowing us to get some nicer shots of the surrounding mountains. We are still amazed every time we get to see the beautiful scenery around us.
Photos: Its so pretty here.

You also need to start creating a glossary.

"crack"?
"hopoate"?

Darn it! Just realised the second photo was taken where you could be seen in the distance from the boat.

"hopoate" translates to "update" in Adam and Stuart language- you don't want to know why.
"a good crack" is local lingo and kinda translates to "fun" you can have or be a good crack
