el camino

Today was one of those rare days where it was raining and the sun was shining all at the same time. I love it. It gives me a lil’ joy. It just seems so ironic to accessorize with both sunglasses and an umbrella. I was going to take a day trip to Ferntree Gully today to do some hiking, but I’ll hold off until tomorrow in hopes of sunshine without rain.

Instead, I went to my favorite café in the city to have coffee, read, and people watch…all those great things that unemployed people get to do.

This weekend I went to my first Australian wedding. It was interesting to see what was different. Some things were much more formal here and some things are much more formal in the states. Either way there was lots of love, dancing, food, wine, and music. Great combo for a great evening.

When I arrived in Australia, one of the first things I asked Jolyne was “why are there so many El Caminos?” El Caminos are actually “utes”, short for utility vehicle. It’s far less common to have a truck over here. One of my roommates really likes trucks so I told her to come over to Texas.
