Tea Rings and Ink Spots

Hey friends, family, and dedicated fans!! I am so sorry I haven't blogged sooner!! I am having the most amazing and life-changing time in Australia (formerly New Zealand). If you have ever seen pictures of New Zealand, you know that it it breath-taking. Except, you actually have NO IDEA. It is not breath-taking. It is something more. It is here that a person could really become an artists because it is just SO DARN INSPIRING. In New Zealand, Cities hit rolling hills which hit thermal springs which hit tropical rainforests which hit magestic mountains...and all this is surrounded by calm and crisp seas. It is truely nature at its best. Downsides, you might ask? Yes there are some. Two words: meat pies. I will never eat another one again. And fish and chips were fun the first time I experienced them (and the second and third time I suppose)...but the eighth? Not really. I am finding the food in Australia to be quite yummy though. I am anxiouisly awaiting the day I can experience a kangaroo burger. Today perhaps. Australia is magical, even in the city. I haven't actually left Sydney yet, but today I am off to Cairnes. There will be rainforests and reefs and it will be epic. The school visits are amazing as well. I have seen the greatest practices and met the best kids! And I can now say I have friends all over the globe. Luycky me!! So blessed. I miss my family tremendously though!
