Well, I'm back in the southern hemisphere, but this time I'm in sunny Melbourne! We just arrived today after a 15 hour flight. I'll be working here for 2 weeks, and then I'll be hanging around for another 6 days to check out the city. I'm super super excited. It's in the 60's here and gorgeous right now. I've got a couple of friends from Gold Arrow Camp, where I used to work, living in town, so I'm excited to get to catch up with them.
We're staying across the street from a big park, which is nice. So far my only impressions of Australia are that Melbourne seems to be a pretty, clean city. Also, it's nice (and not what I'm used to) to be in a foreign country and still be able to speak English. I realized a little belatedly that I didn't need to be anxious to talk to strangers, because everyone can understand me!
Well, I have to run - literally. Gotta stick to my triathlon training schedule.

Aura's Travel Blog! I'm currently farming in upstate New York. Past trips include Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Argentina, Australia, Mexico, and Alaska. This blog contains stories from my travels, pictures, and general ruminations about life. I change my mind a lot and try not to take myself too seriously, so you shouldn't either! That being said, I love to read comments on my posts.

About Me
- Aura...
- This started out as a travel blog, and in a way, I guess it still is. I resurrect it every year or so when I start some new adventure. This time it's an apprenticeship outside of Ithaca, NY on a sheep dairy and draft horse farm. Happy reading!

FUN! I have always wanted to visit Austrailia, now i am not sure I spelled that correctly but I am not concerned enough to check right this minute...who cares!
I will be excited to read all about it!! Don't be upset if I don't comment though, I will be away from the internet for a while...a little self-imposed sabbatical. But, then I get to read it all at once! Can't wait! Have a fun trip and say hello to the Wiggles for me! HA HA!!!
How many times do I have to tell you not to talk to strangers! Especially the handsome, foreign ones. Most of them are slobbery and have germs anyhow. ;)
I'm glad to know you're safe and sound, and in sunny Melbourne. Too bad you're at work, eh?
