Dear family and friends,
I apologize for leaving you so soon, but I am an unemployed post-graduate so I have to do something with my time, although I did enjoy being a "lady of leisure" for three weeks.
I got to Townsville a few days ago. For those of you who don't know, Townsville, Australia, is a town on the Northeast coast of Queensland, home to James Cook University, and, currently, me. It's been interesting, and a little weird, to be back here a second time. I have spent the last few days drinking margaritas and adjusting to Australian things, like time zones, bitter beers, Mitch's "Australian temper", housemates that clearly have never heard the word "courtesy" before, Russell Crowe (I wish), and learning to drive stick shift (sorry about your transmission, Ken, but thanks for letting me use your car).
I'll be leaving for the so-called "Bush" in about a week. Mitch, Terry, Terry's girlfriend, Hannah, and I will be driving to Uluru (Ayr Rock, for those politically insensitive folk) and then to dabiru (or Jabiru, if you are not drunk Mitch). We'll be stopping places along the way, but I'll keep you up to date when that happens.
Cheers!
