Australia!

 I was talking to my mom on the phone yesterday and she asked me why I haven't updated my blog lately. I couldn't really come up with a reason why I hadn't been motivated to write then and there, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized a simple truth: I haven't been that interesting lately. In all honesty, I've spent the past couple weeks teaching summer school and while I like it, it's not exactly newsworthy.

 So, what to write in the blog? I'm getting there, I promise. 

 For the past week, Douglas has been in Australia. He's having a good time and has informed me that he has NOT spotted any koalas, kangaroos, or Keith Urban. I'm pretty jealous that he gets to go, even though I know this doesn't exactly count as vacation time for him. Anyway, he's sent me some great pictures, so I figured I could pass that off as a blog and appease my mom. Enjoy. :)

Beautiful, isn't it?

  Not to be outdone and or let him forget just all the Japanese wonderment he was missing, I decided to send him a few snapshots of some of the local scenery.

I think he's really jealous.
