Travel update

I just got into Sydney today. I have internet for the first time (I could have had it anytime I wanted, but I just didn’t care enough to work it out). So I figured I’d let you guys know how things are going.

Before this I was in Cairns. I did a day of scuba diving and snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. It was incredible. I did a day in the rain forest as well. Also amazing. I saw a crocodile swimming down the river near me, and most importantly, didn’t get eaten.

But so far my favorite part of the trip was the beginning. Melbourne. I can’t even begin to tell you how unbelievable it was. With all the places I’ve been, this was the first place that I felt like I would love to live in that isn’t Buffalo. It’s hard to describe exactly what it was that I loved about it. The alleys, the buildings, the people I met, the food, and just the basic feel of the city in general. It all combined into just about a perfect experience. It definitely helped having Jes there to show me around. The first night, powering through the jet lag with her, Tahnee, and a bunch of their friends out in the city was nothing short of brilliant. For real, if I had gone to Melbourne before I got an adult job I might already be living there. And if I ever find myself unemployed and devoid of responsibilities, don’t be surprised if I end up moving to the other side of the planet.
