Fine,MOM.
We really haven't been doing much because there isn't really much to do here in Ocean Grove in the winter. Yesterday we went to Jirrahlinga Animal Sanctuary which was really cool. They rescue and take injured animals in and keep them until they get better. We saw LOTS of pretty birds (Jen!) and kangaroos and wallabees and wombats (yuck). It was cool. Tonight Lana's friend Sam invited us to go to a party with him so we'll see how that goes. It probably won't be too fun. Tomorrow we are going to Melbourne for the day and then going out to the bush to visit Jeanne's friend! So I won't have internet for a few days after tomorrow, but it should be cool to experience the real Australian bush! haha. Friday and Saturday we will for sure be in Melbourne and then after that everything is up in the air until we leave for NZ on Thursday!

First days in Australia
Hi Dad, I think you're the only one reading this and you're the only one I text regularly!
Australia has been really amazing. The plane wasn't bad at all. We stayed over at Lana's friend Heather's house for the first night and shopped on the first day (we got in at 8 am). Their friend Eddie picked us up from the airport. He is like 73 and super funny and drives a BMW like a madman. Melbourne was really cool with lots of little alleyways and stuff. I have pictures that I will try to post on facebook or on here if I ever get a wireless internet connection. We came down here to Ocean Grove (where Lana's house is) after the first night and it is so cute! They don't have a car so we walk everywhere. The beach is a five minute walk away, and I have woken up and walked down to it every morning so far. I am still sick with that cough and now my nose is all stuffed up, so I spent MY OWN MONEY and bought myself a 15 dollar medicine! Ahem! AND I spent my OWN 40 dollars on groceries yesterday and made gnocci with pesto, garlic and tomatoes for everyone last night! I am very proud of that. Ok well there isn't much more to say. Tell everyone I miss them!
