Randomness

First i would like to say, still no port for my camera in these past few internet cafe's. very upsetting. I'll have to add pictures in sometime soon i hope.

But had a craving for a burger last night. I mean a craving--a NEED! I was walking up the main street of Airrlie Beach and there it was, the Golden Arches. A quarter pounder with cheese, some FRENCH FRIES and a Coke. An all American Meal. lol. Defenitly hit the spot. It was crowded with fellow travelers, so I chatted it up with the folks sitting next to me. Surprisingly a couple of americans (first i'd seen in a loong time) and a couple of girls from england. We tried putting our heads together to come up with something to do for the night besides drinking at the local bars. But there really was nothing else to do. The only places to hang out are the bars, the nearest movie theatre is over an hours drive. So the two nurses (as i came to find out) form England decided to stop whining and man up at the bar. lol. Life is rough. Oh ya, one of the girls names was Jordana. How kewl is that?

So I mentioned the fact that i went snorkelling yesterday. It was a blast, even in the codl and rain. And the water was still a strong blue. But clips from the movie jaws and all the discovery channel shows about sharks kept playing through my head. I'm surprised i'm not cross eyed with one eye constantly looking for danger while the other one enjoyed the reef. lol After awhile though you just get over it. I mean there are twenty other people, i have only a 1 in 20 chance of being eaten. lol (James taught me that when we went surfing)

In Europe apparently you graduate highschool at 19 or so, and take 6 months to a year off to travel. How amazing is that/ I mean not everyone does it, but almost everyone i meet here in australia who is european is on a working vacation. Spend a week or three at every town. Working 4 days out of 5, but generally only 5 or 6 hours a day. Then night and evenings free. SO you get to meet some of you fellow travellers really well, really get a feel for the place. I've got too much going on at home ot just ditch for a year, or even half a year. Though... I wonder if I could work through Europe? Somethign to keep in the back of my mind. Or just win the lotto, retire, and travel the world at 22!

Not to omany overweight people here. I think it's more to do with the price of food than anythign else. It's also easier walking around at times than to drive and worry abuot parking. Ya, must be the price of food. lol.
