Howdy!
I reckon it's time for another brief update. Friday I got back from my outback tour. It was absolutely, completeley, totally an awesome time! Everyone got along so well, and I got to know lots of people! (if you catch my drift...) LOL J/P! (sorta) hehehehehehe Well, I had a great time! Unfortunately, though, the first night we had to leave our shoes outside (it was a small town in the outback) and, of course, with my luck, my tennis shoes got stolen! It really sucked because those were my hiking shoes for the trip, but I did have my shopping shoes with me. It hurt so much though. Damn stupid drunks that took my shoes. I only hope someone is actually wearing them right now. Maybe it was a dingo, though. I hope that dingo it wearing them.
The rest of my trip was really good. We visited Cober Pedy (the opal capital of the world) and other small towns. We also camped in a swag under the stars at Uluru and also another night at Kings Canyon. It was freezing weather outside too! But everyone survived. And the last night we were all together was in Alice Springs. There was a big party for all the Adventure Tour groups, and lots of free beer too! :) It was great!
I was the only American in the group too. The majority of the group was from the UK. There were 2 girls from France, a guy from Switzerland, another guy from Germany, my friend from Germany too, a girl from Japan, and a girl from Korea. I think that was everyone. The tour guide lady was really cool too. One of the guys from the UK brought his guitar, and we had a good time singing around the campfire. He was a great musician. He played a few of his own songs too. And he also serenaded me in the bus one time too! I really enjoyed that trip. :)
Tonight is my last night in OZ. :( It was really hard saying goodbye to everyone. I still have to say goodbye to two friends in the morning. They have been letting me stay at their apartment for the past week. I spent my last day here shopping for gifts for you! But I also had a wonderful massage in the morning, and also a painful leg wax (I would never recommend it). My suticases are packed to the max, and everything seems to be organized. I just have to get myself off the couch in the morning. Can't wait to see everyone soon! Have a great day!

Well, bloody f*in hell! Stupid internet crap machine. I just wrote a long journal entry and right on the last couple sentences it did some crap thing and exed out that screen. ARGH.........
Okay...
A bit better now. Still in Adelaide, and it's still an okay city. There's a cute shopping centre nearby, that has lots of fresh fruit stands and cute clothes, and I even made a bracelet at some bead shop.
I visited the Barossa Valley nearby. It's absolutely lovely! It has some of the best wines in the world! We took a tour of 4 of the vineyards there, including Jacob's Creek (you may have tried it, they export a lot of wines to the US). I drank lots and lots of wines. It's a nice feeling to drink wine during the day. The tour guide was very friendly and hilarious. He spoke to me a lot about Texas and he was always teasing everyone and telling jokes. We were also allowed to drink alochol in the van, since he held a liquor liscense for the trip. :) We also played some weird games on the way back to the city. Like this one game, where there was a rep from both sexes. Each had to smell different bottles and guess what the smell was. For each wrong answer, they had to take off a piece of clothing, and for 2 correct answers they could put an article back on. It was great, cause the guy ended up in his boxers. LOL He was a cutie from Canada too. :) We also had to tell jokes once in a while, and everyone loved my joke. :)
Q: What did the egg say to the boiling water???
A: I may not get hard. I just got laid yesterday!!!
LOL! (Thanks for telling me that one, Brenda! It's been very useful. :)
It might have been more hilarious, since everyone was a bit tispy. :)
Well, I leave Adelaide in the morning at 6:30am!! This'll be an interesting trip on my way to Alice Springs (the middle of Australia). So, I'm trying to get in one last journal before I lose the internet for a bit. I hope all of ya'll are doing okay! I really really REALLY can't wait to see you again!!!! Awwwwwwwwwww :).... shucks...

Hey, ya'll! Life's going pretty good. However, I'm totally going to be roughing it (at least my version of roughing it) the next week or so. Sydney was pretty cool. I was there for about 3 nights, during that time I toured the Oprah House, walked across the Harbour Bridge, walked around the city, visited Darling Harbour and the aquarium there, took the ferry to random spots, and, of course, tasted a bit of the night life. All in all it was a cool city. But I definitely prefer Melbourne, which is where I'm at now and have been since Friday morning. The first night here I met the kid that I met in Tasmania (who works here) and he introduced me to one of his friends, who happens to be from England (Alex). And I've actually seen Alex every night since. I also have seen my friend Eckhard. He was here for a couple of days, and I will meet him again in Adelaide. Also, yesterday the 2 friends of mine, whom I drove to Sydney with, are in Melbourne now, so I hung out with them last night, and two of their friends that have been in Melbourne for about a month. It's kinda cool meeting friends of friends of friends. LOL
Melbourne is supposed to be the most liveable city in the world (tied with Montreal, Canada). They have very good transportation and it's pretty cheap too. The night life is really good, as well. Right now, I'm at this really spiffy internet cafe not far from my hostel. It's like a bar/internet cafe. Couches everywhere, and about 10 computers on one side of the room. Lots of groovy music too. And if you buy an alcoholic beverage at the bar u get 40 minutes of internet free. Which is what I am taking advantage of now. :)
Just curious if everyone has received the e-mails about the party at my house? I hope you can come! August 7th, 6pm! Let me know if you are going or call mi casa. My dad told me Marie called the other day! YAY for Marie!!! :) :) :)
