Apartment and Car

We now have a furnished apartment on the beach, and will hopefully have internet within the week! We are also the owners of a 1998 Ford Falcon (with the steering wheel on the "wrong" side). I will be posting some pictures as soon as I can. We had our first cooked meal since leaving the US, tacos, as we have not yet found any Mexican restaurants. Went to the beach today, water felt great, and the waves were just big enough to make it more fun than swimming in the lake. There is a spiderman boogy board left in our apartment, Danny was able to catch 1 good wave. Hope everything is good back home, how's the weather?

Holden wants to know if you've seen any kangaroos.

(Don't Ask Me Why!)

Weather has been cloudy, misty, and chilly today. Glad to hear about the car. No Mexican so far? That's disappointing, but they obviously have the ingredients in the grocery store. So is job hunting for Tonya next after the internet? Do you have cable, dish, or antenna TV? Tell us about the shows you have available to watch and number of channels. Love, MDH

Hi guys! Not much going on here, but I did have 14 turkeys outside my classroom window the other day. They flew in by my room and then waddled over to the playground. We decided it was turkey recess. The kids thought that was quite funny. One girl said that she had never seen a turkey with it's feathers still on! Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Yep, people have an Australian accent down here, but they speak english. We've only seen kangaroos at the wildlife sanctuary, we got to feed them! Haven't seen any wild ones yet.

We have about 5 channels right now, we are going to work on getting satellite, it's called Austar. There are some American shows- Law and Order, Two and a half men, will and grace, No Greys yet :(. Internet could still take another week.

No survivor, but there is Australian Idol, and Australia's Got Talent, and Australia's Funniest home videos.
