This is a typical Indianna meal that was served to us when we visited different homes - pulled pork with or with out sauce (often bbq sauce) usually served on a hamburger bun. Home made baked beans (below). This meal was usaully served with coleslaw and potato salad.

Being made to feel welcome on Pre-Derby night in Jeffersonville/New Albany

Hatted up, but not frocked up - all ready to attend the Kentucky Derby
Our 'patch' at the Derby - 165,000 people attended. This small area in the background was the only peice of racetrack we could see. It was on the 3rd turn - luckily we also had quite a good view of a large TV monitor!! This was the most awesome experience.

Final team photo - as we all set off  in different directions. This most amazing GSE adventure may have come to an end -  what we gained from it will remain with us forever.
Yet another 'typical' American sized meal - this time a pancake breakfast at Dennys.

Lying around on the IU Football stadium
IU Football stadium would rival most of our major football venues in Australia yet it is for collegiate (University) football competition only and this is a small one by American standards.

In and Outbound Teams after giving their Presentations at the District Conference at French Lick Resort - the District Governor announced at  Dinner that night that we "knocked the socks off them!!" So I guess they liked it.

The lobby at the French Lick Resort - venue of the District Conference - very very opulent surroundings.
