Australian Travels, Day 2

6/18/08 @ 12am

My dear friends,

It is late here in Robina; midnight. I am very tired and we have a long but wonderful journey ahead of us tomorrow. I want to share the great day we had today, but perhaps I will wait until another time. There is so much to tell, I don’t want to leave anything out just because of a little fatigue!

Just a bit…

We went to the couple’s house I spoke of last email. They were awesome! They are German. Doris and Gearheart are their names. They are retired and living on the river that runs through the city. We enjoyed cheese, crackers, bread, and grapes, along with some white wine. We talked about everything from politics and religion to the stock market, careers, and love. It was a good time. I will go on about this couple more later. They were quite charming!

We later went to “The Australian Outback Experience Spectacular.” This is a theatrical rodeo, hard to imagine, but true. It was a dinner show. More to come on that as well..

And lastly before I “buzz off”, Uncle Bruce let me drive home from the show! WHOA!!! It was cool! You would have been so proud of me, I stayed on the wrong side of the road the whole time, just as I was supposed to!! Hahaha!!! Talk about freaky! I was driving from the passenger seat on the left-hand side of the street. I felt like I was in a romantic comedy were the couple is arguing driving down the road in a foreign country! The only difference was there was no romance and no arguing… but it was really funny!!! I guess you had to be there!!! :o)

Well, as I said about 14 thousand times already, I will fill in the gaps of this adventurous day when I have more wind in my sails. It may be a few days before I write again because we leave in the early morning to travel to Carnes…(pronounced Cans) to see my cousin Fiona. It is a 19 hr drive!! Good practice for my South Dakota trips to come!! ;o) I don’t know what amenities there will be on our 3 day journey, but I will keep a close watch on all of our fun so I can share it with you. I hope you are well and feeling blessed today, because you are! Thanks be to Thee, oh Lord, for this sweet person I share my memoirs with.

All my love to you,

Priscilla
