Half Way Done

As of Friday, I have been in Australia for 6 months now which means I am half way done with this crazy, wonderful experience.   Actually, I'm a little more than half way because I'll need to leave earlier than my visa expiry date since I'll be doing standby flights again (just in case I can't get on a flight right away).  How it's already been 6 months, I have no idea.  Time has gone so fast since being over here and I really hope it starts to slow down a bit because I am nowhere near wanting to leave. 

I realize I've taken hardly any pictures while I've been here.  A big reason is me still having my ancient phone with a horrible camera and it's not worth taking photos that end up looking like the vision of a person who wears bifocals.  The good news is I'll be able to use my actual US phone in less than a month which is incredibly exciting for multiple reasons, one of which being more pictures.  I was going to walk around today and take pictures but had to cover someone at work so instead I'm posting pictures of Hannah, Maggie, and Lexee from Portland because we chatted this week and I can.

I've been doing more research into going to the Great Barrier Reef.  I think I've picked a company to go swimming with so now need to figure out flights/accommodation.  I was originally going to stay in Cairns but might be headed down to Port Douglas instead.  It's looking like I might make it over there at the end of July.

That's all for now.  Bye.
