Tomorrow is the fourth of July! It's hard to believe we've been in Australia for 2 weeks and it's almost time to go back to the U.S. I am sitting in my host family's living room, online, wireless, for FREE, watching The Karate Kid with Jaden Smith. Not a bad evening. We (Paula and I) slept in until 10 a.m., had a lovely breakfast, and were dropped off to do some shopping. It was nice strolling along and having some free time. We ate wonderful club sandwiches and made our way towards the mall where our host family's daughter, Kaz works. We met up with her at 5 p.m. to go back to her house for dinner.
I wonder how all of the delegates are doing on their homestays. I know they'll be full of stories when we meet up again tomorrow. I don't know what they will be more excited about... their homestay experiences or the idea of going diving on the Great Barrier Reef. We're heading out early tomorrow, and checking in to our hotel in Cairns after we are done at the reef. I'll try to post some photos of our adventures on the reef tomorrow night.
Until then, G'day!
