bye for now


New Postings!!! Here's whats been happening in the last two weeks: Nan and Grandad take us to the train station where we hop on a bus, then a train for Brisbane. Uncle Ian picks us up at 6am, we realize it's hard to sleep on the train sometimes, and it's really cold. We spend the day wandering around Brisbane. We are exhausted but happy. And we check out the Brisbane Botanical Garden. It's beautiful, it's raining and we take an hour long guided tour with two other people, one of whom is from Katy, Texas. (Close to where I am from.) We see lily pads, and two large turtles, and large iguanas and lizards, as well as the ibis, my new favorite bird. They have really long curved beaks. Ian takes us to the club (bar) after work and then we head home. Australia is all about clubs ie: rugby clubs, rowing clubs, barefoot bowls - which Ian belongs to and we'll explain later (when we understand). We are back in Brisbane on Friday for a Barefoot Bowls Tournament - which I think we are participating in.

Ok girls - A comment or two per picture just to show that I'm following your trip. These three are obviously relatives! More details on the BareFoot Bowls Tournament please! It unfortunately sounds like something sloppy and messy and therefore something you'll both enjoy! But it's most likely a lawn game played barefoot.
