Home Sweet Home: Australian Version

I made it! My last flight was full of turbulence, but I was lucky enough to be in the front seat, so I had about 4 feet of leg room. Fantastic! I landed in Perth, and it took about 20 minutes to get through customs and immigration. I failed to add my middle name to my Visa, so they had to take a minute to fix that, but other than that, it was a breeze. I collected my baggage with no problems, met up with Matt, and we were on our way. Driving on the left side of the road was definitely strange, and I tensed up every time we turned or got near another car. It'll take some getting used to.

We got home, and I met the world's best looking dog, Floyd (don't worry, there will be pictures) and wound down a bit before heading of to bed. We are keeping it kind of low key today...and thank goodness! It'll take a while to recover from this trip. It is very hot today, though not as hot as was predicted, but pushing 100 degrees. I'm doing my best to keep hydrated. We went down to the grocery store to pick up some things for me. It's strange how different it really is here. I would say 90% of the things at the store we're brands I had never seen, and it was fun to compare prices and what is available. Our mission is to find tamatillos so that we can replicate my favorite Cafe Rio salad while I'm here. Most people we asked looked at us like we were crazy, because they have never even heard them. When we got home i was able to video chat with Shandice, Derek, and Braden. After chatting with them and putting away the groceries we went out and browsed at the Galleria. We planned on going out to eat, but we were so hot and had so much water to drink, that the last thing we wanted was something hot or greasy. We opted to grab Subway and returned to the safety and the air conditioned house. Now we are just relaxing, taking it easy, and planning what fun things we want to get up to!

Sorry I don't have more exciting things to tell, but I promise to keep posting, and I'll put up pictures from my journey soon!

Mss y'all!


Love, Kelsey
