We settled into our new home exchange after a day of travel. It is so delightful to see how others express and organize themselves through their homes. Shag carpeted car, Miami blue floral furniture, and personal mementos that tell of many years of travel around the world.
Sierra is handling transitions easier every move, as evidenced by her short-lived protest about sleeping on a thin foamy in an office. Savannah lost the coin toss for the best room in Coffs House so they are switching it up here.
This morning I ran to the southern tip of Bribie and hung out in the bird hide over the lagoon. Australia amazes me every day. There were large black swan like birds with red beaks. Every day I see new species of birds...today was no exception...new kinds of egrets, herons, spoonbills, ducks.
Yesterday we all walked the beach, getting local tips on whether we could safely pass the blobs of jellyfish everywhere: "O yah, they're alright! As long as you don't handle them a lot. They'll "sting ya but they won't kill ya!" Sierra asked if there are sharks..."tons of them. Just don't go swimming at night time!"
(ahem) As If!!!!
Unfortunately, Sierra who is ever viligant about dangers lurking around the next corner, is in the bedroom reading Harry Potter, hoping to escape kayaking today in the "shark infested waters" where she most certainly would be eaten!!!
More soon,
Catherine and Hersh
