Feb 2007

So after one week of being back on the road and back in civilization its like I never left. This past week I have spent in a small beach suburb of Melbourne called St. Kilda. Its a small little town with palm trees, dutch bakeries, and little coffee shops everywhere.

Just another sunset picture

Oh yeah and I had the pleasure of hanging out with lizzie, rachel, and jess as they flew in from sydney for the weekend. It was so nice to have alittle bit of home but at the same time it makes me realize how much I miss some of you back home.

Great Picture with some of my fellow farm workers from Griffith!!

Tomorrow Kelly and I head off to see the Great Ocean Road. We hired a campervan and plan on spending the next two weeks stopping everywhere from melbourne to adelaide. I will update with pictures of everything as soon as possible.

Ok so after a long hard month of slave labor it is finally time to set off and let the adventures begin. In two days Kelly and I are leaving this dreadful little town of griffith and making our way back to civilization in the direction of melbourne.

Although this experience has been both mentally and physically tiring, I must say its been a real eye opener. It one of those things that seems so awful when its actually happening but looking back it gives me a good laugh. Slave labor really makes you appreciate every dollar earned. There is not much besides work and sleep in griffith but I must say I met some great people who I will never forget and will always be part of this bitter sweet experience.

I will update this page with some pictures of the housemates and some of my hair catastrophe. The mishap left me orange and my fix up has left me borderline brown and jet black (i still do a double take in the mirror everytime). Oh well as tom once said 'cie la vie'.

P.S. Happy Valentine's Day (even though I have never been a big fan of this hallmark money maker holiday)
