so many faces...

i have met more cool people in the last two weeks to last me a lifetime. i actually don't want to meet any more cool people. ever. it's too hard to meet cool people and then have to say bye to them. from now on, it's just you guys, and some sporadic non-cool people in my life. shoot. only 12 minutes left on my internet timer. okay, must type quickly. went to airlie beach and went sailing in the whitsundays with 23 amazing people and the crew was awesome and hiliarious and showed us a good time. and it even rained the whole trip and it was truly wonderful still. even sitting inside and playing cards was fun. didn't get to see any of the beaches we were supposed to...but, we did eat well and played even better. did lots of diving and snorkelling, saw cool things, got to lie in the nets on the front of the boat and pretend we were dolphins. crap, 4 minutes left (stupid msn). okay okay....um, i will finish this at a cheaper internet location.

wake up to the sound of the ocean...

spent the last few days on magnetic island..woke up next to the beach, looking up into palm trees and blues skies and ocean....just sat around and relaxed...went horse riding in the bush and on the beach...got to ride bareback on the horses (ow) and went swimming with them in the ocean. so amazing. luckily, they gave me a fairly skinny horse (whew!), so i'm not too sore...though i am bit bruised....alanna, i cantered! not very gracefully, but cantered never the less.... :) managed to hold on for dear life. also did a walk along the island and saw koalas. so close, i could've touched them...decided not to sinve i've heard they are vicious...luckily there's no rabies here in australia :) am currently in airlie beach, about to go sailing! don't worry, i've stocked up on motion sickness pills....starting to miss home a lot, will be back very very soon!!

love,
kim
