Mel in Adelaide

Hey everyone!

Well, after 2 car rides, 3 airplanes, 1 bus shuttle and 25 hours of traveling I made it to Australia yesterday (Tuesday). It might sound funny but it didn't hit me that I would be in a country where I'm the only one who has my accent until I reached Sydney where I actually was the only one with my accent. (Understanding a little bit of your life Dan)

Adelaide is quite nice, very quaint. Its like a mini big city, if that makes sense. We had cell yesterday which are the same cell talks as in Vancouver! Pretty sweet, a small dose of home. I even managed to stay awake and listen.

I've only been here 2 days and I've already had an AB with Rachael (they're pretty good Steve) and Fleur took me to the Adelaide zoo today! I got to pet and feed some very cute wallabys, it was like the petting zoos we have but instead of a goat it was a wallaby!

Still figuring out what I'm doing here...lots of options! Very excited to be here, the girls are great (Fleur, Rach & Lisa).

Shalom,
Melissa

Hey- AB is a lot better than spaghetti on Wednesdays with no sauce. What am I talking about? AB is legendary- get the large-size with the 1/5 litre diet coke, and the locals will KNOW the Canadians are back in town (Phil M...).
