things they say here..ta..cheers..no worries..jumper..lolly..

hello from canberra, australia! i went for maaany hours without sleep, and my first evening here at susie's house i couldn't stay awake any longer than 7 pm...and slept straight through til 7 AM! i've arrived in "winter" which really is more like our fall...about 50 degrees everyday, but with nice sun. i haven't met any kangaroos or wombats yet, but i have become quite taken with the common magpie, a big black and white bird that has a very interesting song. realized i haven't traveled to a place where they speak english in a long time. many gum trees here, and wattle. the sky seems bigger here too...and so blue.

tomorrow we go to adelaide, closer to the ocean. the airline, virgin blue, that we're taking to adelaide had this funny rule on its website: "The only item that can occupy a seat (apart from a Guest of course) is a cello. To book an extra seat for your cello please call the Guest Contact Centre." ha!

susie showed me this video last night on youtube...thought you guys might be interested in seeing it too.
