lots to tell...


boy oh boy am I having fun in Australia!  Just the other day, my friends took me on a snorkel trip where I saw the COOLEST THING EVER!!  A Leafy Sea Dragon!!!  We found them at Wool Bay, in the state of Western Australia!  The Great Southern Ocean! But I do have to warn you guys...if you plan to seek them out...wear a wetsuit!  I'm talking FREEZING!!  

Oh, one more thing....guess who lives in this ocean too??  GREAT WHITE SHARKS!  Oh my! But we didn't see any...phew!

okay...I tried my best to get a pic on the page directly, but I can't...there must be some problems. So you'll have to look at the photos from the link on this page...or at the slideshow...enjoy the new pics!!!

wonderful oz...

did you guys know that Australia is also referred to as Oz??  Yup.  Here I am in Sydney, Australia. Haven't seen much yet, we just arrived, but Frankie will bring me along on a bike tour tomorrow. That is, if she can get up the hill:)  hahah...I'll help!  So, since we've last talked, I went along with my friends to do some diving trips.  We went to Sipadan, which is an island off of Borneo.  But Sipadan is considered part of the country Malaysia.  The diving there was a bit scary because there were so many SHARKS!!!  But the turtles were cool...there were too many to keep count! 100's!  Then we went off to Papua, Indonesia to the area called Raja Ampat.  That was beautiful!! I dove with all sorts of crazy fish...see Frankie and Austin's blog for the underwater pics.  There were sharks, nemo fish, bat fish, turtles....fun!  After all that excitement, Frankie and I took a break and hit the surf in Bali, Indonesia!  I surfed like a pro!  The beach we surfed on was famous Kuta Beach in Bali.  Frankie's friend Mike helped us both learn how to surf!  You guys at home should try!  

And yup, now we are in Sydney.  I'll keep you guys updated!
