Noosa noosa

so after a few days of rain the sun has finally come out again and I couldn't be happier! Right now we're in a town called Noosa ... it's basically a beachside yuppy-vil, like where really rich people go to show off just how rich they are. Regardless, it's beautiful and there seems to be a lot to do so we're pretty content. We got here yesterday and came across an irish pub which we welcomed with open arms considering how hard it was pouring rain and then later on went out to eat and ordered a huge seafood platter with everything fish you could want. It was awsome, made me feel a little bit at home . We woke up this morning to sun and decided to go for a looooong walk in the National Park here which was also amazing. We followed the ocean all the way up the side of a mountain to a point called Hell's Kitchen and saw some koalas along the way which was pretty cool. Anyway, we walked like 7k in total staring at the untouchable ocean the whole time so afterwards we clearly needed a little beach time. The water here is so nice but pretty scary at the same time. The waves get pretty big and the rips are insane, a lot different than at home and and i worry sometimes about getting carried away but then I look around at the 5 year old kids swimming like fish and get a little embarassed . Seriously the kids here swim better than most people I know at home, luckily though we're starting to look like we fit in. I've finally got a bit of a tan and am not so white and Aaron's getting pretty good at the body board ... that said there is at least one awkward moment a day when i get caught in a wave and end up feet in the air with my bum hanging out of my swimsuit. Ahh well, I'll never see these people again.

Anyway so that's basically the past 2 days but we've been pretty busy in general. We spent a few days in Brisbon with Aaron's friend Zev and his sister Eve who we randomly ran into. It was a pretty sweet few days, Eve's going to school there and has a sweet apartment and we got to sleep in her carpark ... which by the way is what Australians call parking lots and was like a treat for us after sleeping on the sides of roads for a few days. Brisban was really nice too, definitely busy and just like any city anywhere. We had a few too many drinks one night as anybody should when in a foreign city and I danced it up. I know, who knew I danced. Anyway so after those few days we headed inland to a couple places, saw some fantastic scenery and a few dead kangaroos and decided we wanted to see some alive ones so off the the zoo we went. No just any zoo though, the Australia Zoo aka. the Crocodile Hunter zoo. We spent a full day there and saw everything, including real live jumping kangaroos, so really cute koalas, tazmanian devils which i didn't know were real and some seroiusly scary and deadly snakes, which of course all live here. Good to know.
We had an awsome time there, then spent a couple days in Caloundra which was another lazy beach town, which I've decided I love and then we moved onto Noosa where we are now!

So that's just a little update of our lives and what's going on allll the way over here. I'm sure a lot has happened at home and I want to know about it so send me some emails! I mean since we've been gone Anna Nicole Smith has died and Britney Spears is bald so I can only imagine the stuff that has gone down in Halifax. Ha . I miss everyone a lot and really do hope everything is great! I was just told this cafe is closing so I'm saying bye!

Lotsa love from down under,
