For Emily's mum and dad - so sorry for not mentioning Em on the blog huge oversight on my behalf- she is a real star and is amazing on the radio doing some excellent SITREPs - Em is always in great form and is doing brilliantly as ever!
For EJ - It's amazing out here, but love and miss you all. Thank god for Craig! love Abbie
Cam sends lots of love to Tim - she is currently climbing a volcano and you know how much she loves volcanoes!
Mags sends love to family and to Jules - she is continuing to do brilliantly!
Ross sends love to all his supporters - mum and Cherlie and Laura and his uncles and aunties - I personally love the messages you guys send and love reading them on the radio!
Stu sends lots of love to his two girls, he is showing your picture to the children he is meeting in Nicaragua - they always say that you are Muy Bonita!! Also a big hello to the Isle of Egg (that comes from me too, I love hearing all the stories about the island)
To the Spencer clan - thanks for all your messages, I know Jen sends you a lot of love and she and we all appreciate your support
So the gang will be back on Sunday evening - we are expecting them at around 5pm, when they will be greeted with Rosie and Sandra's speciality - the BBQ. Highlights of this changeover will include a foam party, our skits and a follow up (grudge) football match - volunteer managers and staff vs venturers - the venturers (especially Ollie) are keen to make up for last changeover's defeat when the older members of our expedition doubled their score!!
Everyone will head out again on the 26th November and we will be returning to Roca Quemada to complete the school and to La Cangreja to continue with our jungle camp and path building, as well as heading out on trek.
Remember it is not too late to put something in the post for your loved one- letters are like gold out here! and there is always the electronic means as these guys will have internet access on both Monday and Tuesday (24th and 25th)
Oh I forgot to tell you - the earth moved here at fieldbase last night - I woke to a moving bed but decided it must have been the wind! Rachel my fellow fieldbaser pointed it out this morning and suddenly it all made sense- an earthquake! The epicentre was in Panama where is measured 6.5. Never a dull moment.
Saludos

Hello Jen
I hope that you have had a great time playing with water, and that you have been successful in bringing it closer to the village. We looked up some pictures on the web and it seems that the villagers really look after their pigs! The children and parents looked smiling and happy and also very colourful. Waiting to see the pictures.Well done - I will send you a longer email by hotmail!
All fine here, quite a grey day but its not cold. Best wishes as always to the rest of the team - Lots of love and more
