Paula and Montevideo (III)

Paula is still on her long road to recovery from her broken leg. 2 weeks after surgery her cast was removed and a new flexible plastic cast was put back on, with velcro strips for closure. She can take off this cast, but this is still pretty scary. She will be in a wheelchair until at least end of April, when the next step will be decided. In the mean time she is picking up her study and social life, and gathered a large group around her for support. Living at home again (with your parents) can get a bit boring! Her plan for next year has also taken shape: Paula will finish her Batchelor in the summer and will take a year off to sit on the board of her rowing club Proteus. This is a full time job, and as she hasn't lost any time yet she wants to take the opportunity to gain experience in a completely different area.
Piet made another trip to Montevideo, Uruguay, to have meetings with the government. At the end of a busy day Piet and his colleague borrowed bikes from the hotel, and cycled a long way along the coast, enjoying the sunset. Unfortunately this was most likely his last trip, as the project is being wrapped up.
