Paradise






Hey Mates!
How are you going? I am not slacking off but this working for a living is interfering with my blog time. I have been in school all week trying to get organized for the first day-next Wed. These are some random pictures. The first one is of a native Aussie on the beach. Apparently they drink beer everywhere and anywhere here-because they can! Imagine that. I have seen guys with a beer in their hand walking their dog, driving their cars and just hanging out. The younger gentleman is my new friend Adam. He is a year 6 student who was spending the afternoon with his grand dad and they were looking for bait to go fishing. He showed me all the best places to find sand crabs. Too bad they were so small-no good eating there. The windswept girl on the cliff is me-I haven't got that one handed picture taking thing figured out yet. I was hoping that the height of the cliff would show. Perhaps I needed to back up a little......

It's been a long day and I need to go wash the sand off before I hit the hay. I hope you are all doing well. How are those New Year's resolutions going? Mine is to see a sunset on the beach everynight for the next year. So far so good. Actually it is much better than good-it is AMAZING. Pinch me-I am in Australia!
G'Day eh!
