I'm sorry I haven't been able to upload pictures yet. My laptop is giving me a hard time, but I'll do my best to fix it soon, as I know pictures are the best part of any blog.
Yesterday was a day of sun! I slopped on my sun screen, and we went out to enjoy a seriously beautiful Australian day. The heat wasn't too bad, and there a was a nice breeze much of the day. We headed down to Cottesloe Beach and walked around. There was an Lifeguard Competition on the beach, so there were heaps of people, but fun things to look at. Matt pointed out all the safety precautions in place to protect swimmers. From the guard stations, to warning flags to patrol helicopters, they've got you covered. We took off out shoes, and walked down in the sand and into the water a bit. I was impressed with the waves, but Matt claims that they're hardly waves at all. When we we're walk back up off the sand, it got so unbearable hot on my feet, I could hardly stand it! They actually hurt for a few hours afterwards. Luckily, right off the sand they have the rinse stations to wash off the sand, so I could sooth my poor feet. We drove up the coast a bit to Hillary's Boat Harbor and walked through the boardwalk shops and enjoyed the view. Had we known just how lovely of a day it was, we would have taken our swimming gear and enjoyed the water a bit more.
I am feeling more and more comfortable here. I'm sure the homesickness will hit soon enough, but for now, things are fantastic!
Love, Kelsey
