 FOOTY
     Last night I went to a footy game! For those of you outta the loop (which is pretty much all of ya), Footy is another name for Aussie Rules Football! It's not (American) football, it's not soccer, it's not rugby..   it's F O O T Y. I know it's hard to believe, but there is apparently yet another sport where you can run around with a ball ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Mette caught a bad case of food poisoning from the cafe we ate at for lunch resulting in a trip to the ER that evening. Everything sort of fell into place though, so I know God was looking out for us. We had just left the ( Read more... )

Our guide was a bit spastic and.. well, crazy in general. I was more nervous than amused, but.. alas,.. we made it to Melbourne!! I've been in the city for a few hours,.. most of ( Read more... )

Leaving in FOOOUUUR hours for an Aussie-venture road trip with my friends. We're headed on a 3 day tour of the Great Ocean Road, staying in Melbourne for four days, Phillip Island for two, and then staying with the Looyens (Yes.. as in MR LOOYEN'S family!) in Sydney for 5 days.
Sorry I didn't get to update about Kangaroo Island yet.. or the Mount ( Read more... )
