(no subject)
Hey everybody. It's been a month and a half or so since I posted anything. Things are fantastic.
Here we go:
the fauxhawk is the Australian men's hairstyle of choice. i donned it for one night only.
representing mass. (cape cod t-shirt) at the edge of the kitchen with a post-beach hair tease.
bobbie & i hanging in a surrealist light show enveloping the city / harbour bridge in background.
sunset over newtown, a grassrootsy part of town up the street from my apartment.
in my apartment before going out.
dani and i shakin' it like a polaroid picture on the dance floor.
low-key afternoon jugs up the street.
again, the signs here are so helpful.
my former Australian roommate and still-friend ashley; after a few beers i coerced him to do a raging rendition of the Vegemite theme song, complete with stomps and arm pumps.
swimming in a human-constructed lagoon in airlie beach, queensland.
we spent three days sailing through the great barrier reef's whitsunday islands.
our group.
i got stung but not by the deadly type and it only hurt for a little; made me stronger as a person.
friends kevin, bobbie, and i before SCUBA diving in the reef.
what nice water.
amy, brian, and i relaxing on the deck.
this is the busyness of sydney's bondi beach, which we left behind for spring break.
this is one of our destinations; quite quieter.
yes, that WAS a box filled with nacho chips; here i am seductively finishing one of the remaining leftovers while awaiting the sunset on an abandoned beach; the best of lots of worlds. hi alan.
sometimes kevin and i would fight.
but then we would make peace and walk along more abandoned beaches with a VB.
blurried but relaxed on some jagged rocks.
group shot.
we visited some nice places.
i am really happy; life is beautiful.
three days of bathing in salt water and lots of sunscreen = spikey hair!
our boat at sunset.
we slept on the deck underneath the most blissful array of stars and galaxies, awaking to a sunrise that looked like this. after seeing it, we'd sleep again.
another sunset.
another sunset.
another sunset; this one between two crags.
the water looks like clouds; and our hands are a bridge through the heavens.
the concept of property breaks down when we can all behold earth's majesty.
white haven beach at high tide; composed of the most delicate white sands and clear waters, here we swam with sting rays and decided we were never meant to leave.
a pretty little cove.
strategic positioning over the now-devoured vegetable and cheese platter.
on fitzroy island off cairns; there's our ocean trampoline.
swimming in mossman gorge; where kevin and i are determined NOT to get eaten by crocs.
still not eaten at a little swimming hold in the middle of the daintree rainforest with jolene, sweta, and bobbie.
outside a random house in the middle of the rainforest.
dani and i stuff ourselves at an exotic fruit farm; jakfruit for her, custard apple for me.
a list of what we ate.
this looks like a dismembered carcass of some sort; but really it is the remnants of dani and i's eating rampage; this jakfruit was the size of a watermelon until we finished it.
jolene, sweta, and i wandering among exotic fruit trees.
paved roads end at cape tribulation, but you can follow a gravel road another 50 km to the north before there's something like 1000km of unexplored and uninterrupted rainforest; here we're walking along some of hte gravel; it floods often and can be dangerous to drive along unless you like being swept into fast-flowing streams.
the daintree river opening into the coral sea.
yes, our vacation was very peaceful.
and with that, i'll let the sun set.
