Praisaloojah I arrived in Perth safely! My flight was great and I didn't miss any of my flights but instead was able to catch an earlier flight to Sydney from LA. We flew through the International Date Line so I completely skipped Thursday. The sunrise in Sydney was so beautiful and the people I met on my flight were very kind in explaining everything to this unexperienced traveler. I was greeted in Perth with clouds and drizzle and was super excited to finally see my sister and Kevin. Everything here is so unfamiliar that I still feel like I'm dreaming. The nature is so different; it's very interesting mix of exotic/rugged. Let me assure you: everything here is so expensive! Some of the regular every day use items can cost up to three times the amount you would pay in the states! The time now is 6:59pm which is 3:59am in Vancouver which means that currently I am very jet lagged and just want to go to sleep. I am excited to see which adventures await me tomorrow and thank those of you who prayed about my travels. -Vee from the Land Down Under
I just loved today. This week I got quite sick and was couped up in my house for the last 3 days, only leaving my house to buy myself medicine, soup and tissues. I like to rest, but not that much. You can imagine how refreshing it was to get out of the house today and just go do some of my favorite things around Vancouver. Firstly, Tanya and I hit up Albina Press, then headed to Vintage Books where I always buy books based on their covers. Then we went on a walk at the waterfront, grabbed some dinner at Warehouse 23 and watched the sunset at Columbia. It's simple- but its enough to make me happy.
