So, I still have had no luck getting my Internet up, sorry. I'll work on getting pictures up.
It is absolutely beautiful down here. The other day a girl from Denmark, and girl from FL and I went into Hobart (we are just outside a suburb called Sandy Bay). We did a little shopping and touring around and went on a boat tour around the river and out into the cove. We met up with a guy from Missouri and spent the afternoon on the beach. It is absolutely paradise. We found some little clear things that looked like giant jelly beans, but they were completely see though; you almost couldn't see them at all! We played with them for a little bit before we found a native to ask what they were... jelly fish. I was scared for a second that we might have poisoned ourselves, but we were assured that the little things were harmless. I found a starfish that had just washed up on shore and threw him back to the water. There wasn't too much more wildlife there besides the seagulls. Hopefully I will be able to get some pictures up by tomorrow. Thanks for keeping in touch everyone!!

WORD TO THE F.C.U.K!!! Sweet picture!!! I'm so proud! Did you throw anything at the fruit bats to see if you could piss them off? What an interesting story about your jellyfish...sounds splendiferous! If they are small enough do you think you could catch one and make it a pet?? Well, toodles for now!

You're alive!
I love the fcuk sign--too bad I didn't see anything wrong with it at first. Being the loser I am, I've been checking your blog thingy way too often, so it was great to see something new up. A guy from Missouri, eh? Interesting. I saw a t-shirt once saying "I'd rather be in hell than MO," and if Nevada's any indication, I can tell why.
Great to hear from you!

KATIE WALTERS!! This is Kay Van Wyk. How are you?!? It sounds like you are having a blast down under! Your pictures are amazing by the way. It's snowing and icing here, so you are pretty lucky to be living where it's already summer. You lucky goose! Continue having a good time. I'm enjoying reading your blog very much! Love you lots!

Hell Yeah FCUK!!!! I hope you went in there an bought the place out. Mom is telling me all about your adventures and I must say I'm quite envious. I forgot to tell you that secretly studied in Swansea, Tassie but I flew to Wales to cover my ass when you came. It's a good town. You should try the lemons: ) Have you climbed any rocks lately? I climbed a big three footer the other day, but who really wants to brag? Ok but on a more serious note...I'm thinking about quitting my job. I'll keep you updated. Ohhhh and I'm going to a foreign country for spring break. It's a small little country known as Texas (Teh-Has). I'm glad you're having a blast. Eat lots of food, don't drink the water (or can you...) and make sure that Owen knows you're NOT taken! I LOVE YOU!

Love
