Hi - it's Kim, writing some updates for Becky. She called this morning from the middle of the Outback (think Crocodile Dundee) and has no Internet access so couldn't update the blog. So here's basically a bullet point list of things I could get out of her:
- She held a baby crocodile
- They have a 3.5 hour ride back to civilization tomorrow
- They went on a really cool hike today and she got some amazing photos
- The birds are beautiful; cockatoos are wild there
- She's seen kangaroos - they're cute and she has video
- Some hotels are better than others
- The Zip Line on Saturday was really cool
- She's trying tons of new foods (whenever she has the chance). Meat pies stink. This fizzy lemonade drink is really good (like Sprite, only lemonier). She had some sort of baraburger - made from fish and it had a blue cheese sauce which she loved. She's bringing home chocolate frogs. Oh, apparently, they get a food selection cards at every meal and whenever she sees something new, she orders it.
- She bought me a pretty bracelet.
- She's having trouble finding Chris a beer t-shirt
- She's bringing home Kangaroo Scrotum (can't wait to see that one).
- She's actually done laundry and was washing her pants as we spoke (they got dirty during the hike).
- They have the biggest, ugliest spiders ever there. They're colorful.
- The 10,000 species of Australian bugs don't seem to mind American bug repellent.
- She's on the bus a lot but hasn't needed the Dramamine
- They're very laid back in the Outback.
That's all I can remember, I'll update more if anything else comes back to me.

Hey Becky!!! Just writing to say hi. I hope you're having an amazing time in Austrailia. From what your mom wrote, it seemed like you had fun in the Outback. Katie got home from Germany yesterday. I called her today and she said she had a great time and that she wishes she was still there. Nothing interesting has been happening here. I've been working, but I don't have that many hours, so I've been really bored. I'm writing to you so late cause I just saw on the news that the pope was in Sydney. Did you know that? Well, I thought of you when I saw that. Maybe you'll get to see him. Okay, so that's basically all I have to say, because it is sooooooo boring here. Oh, I went to see Mamma Mia! tonight. It was really good, but a little weird, but I liked it. So anyway, I hope you're having a great time. I cannot wait to see you. 8 more days. I'm sure you don't want it to end, but for me I'm sooo bored without you (:
I miss you so much and have fun! XOXOXOXO
