exactly one month in Australia





Okay so this week was a bit more mellow. I went into the city with my friend Luc and we had some Indonesian food which was really good and it wasn't very expensive. Just my style! Then we went and looked at the city all lit up at night. It was beautiful. Then a couple days later I went with Luc to this party his friends were having. We had hamburgers that tasted really good. I met some other guys and I really enjoyed meeting new people. Simon his friend that I met my first day here was there, so we chatted. Then they invited me to come play basketball with them this week so hopefully I can remember how and keep up with them. I don't think I'm in the best shape. Oh well it will be fun. Then I went into the city on Saturday. I went to Queen Victoria's Market which is where you can buy practically everything you can imagine. Vegetables, fruit, meat, clothes, shoes, souvenirs, trinkets, boomerangs, Australia stuff and even desserts. It was really fun just wandering around. Then I went to the store Something Aussie. Then I ran and caught the bus back and Christabelle picked me up to go watch the AFL game at Linda's house. We cheered on Hawthorne who ended up winning Geelong by 30 points. It was a fun game and it seems to go by much quicker than American football games. The rules are different and there is so much more movement going on. Anyways, it was really fun. Then I went home and I started reading the Eclipse book. Sorry these aren't the best pictures but everyone tells me I need to post more pictures, and with me in it. Well its difficult getting pictures that are good, because I'm taking them all of myself. Anyways, the weather is absolutely beautiful here and you walk outside and you can smell the flowers. There are so many beautiful flowers, they are a bright colors and I absolutely love spring. Anyways, on Sunday I went to church and then my friends picked me up and we went to the fireside. I met a few more people there and then we left. We drove to look at this place where the water comes out of a cave. It was quite dark so I couldn't see that much but it looked pretty cool. Anyways, love and miss you guys, but I'm doing great and the time is speeding by.
