Make Today Better
G'Night.
We've managed to survive the endless roads (of wrong-sided driving), outlandish petrol prices, a run-down battery, emus charging our car, wallabies raiding our M&M's, echidnas throwing their spiky bodies under our wheels, crashing over one very large kangaroo corpse, deserts, rainforests, mountains, snow, blazing heat, mosquitoes, flies, midges, no-see-ums, gnats, loads of very large spiders, loads of interesting people, and being stuck in a car with only one other person for two months while showering about once a week with dish soap and eating nothing but peanut butter, white bread, and noodles. We have had a blast. We have been sooooo fortunate to find a nice Canadian couple (by way of Taiwan) to take Hiro from us and give him a good home, so we can now afford to carry ourselves to Sweden and into the warm arms of Anna's hospitality. We anticipate many fun things while in Sweden, the majority of which will be the things I usually do (and look forward to the most) while visiting friends: take over the couch, harrass the pets, and make the friends cook me dinner. Anna can't wait for us (and ORLAGH AND SARAH!) to arrive! :D
We have reached the end of our road in Brisbane, bringing our trip through Oz full circle, and now, having happily sold our transportation, we sit in a dirty hostel whittling away the last few days of Australian-ness in a miserly fashion. See you in Sweden!!!!!!!!!!
I have most of the archives up, so go and read about where I've been this last year. Comments will never work. I give up. And thank you sooooooo much to everyone who has sent a donation. I hope you enjoy your postcards! The more I see of the poverty and desperation in some areas here the more I want to be able to help those who are so disadvantaged in the world, even if it is only a little. As soon as I can get my funds from Google Ads I will be sending that money, as well as everything from the postcards, as a donation to Mercy Corp to help with the rebuilding, relief, and education efforts in Sichuan. Thank you everybody for all of your help in raising money!!!!!!!
