Wait a second, not only is this my 34th official blog post in Australia, it may possibly be my 34th official blog post ever. Yes, in fact, I have never had a blog so I would say that is pretty good to have done 34 posts in three months. Now I know that 34 if the often forgotten about and rarely celebrated anniversary number, however, I am sure it may be the least appreciated but somehow most important anniversary. How you may ask, well I am not exactly sure, I just happened to see that I had 33 posts and therefore, this would be my 34th and I thought that was quite a few, ok my reasoning is not sound, but let's not focus on that. For the sake of this post just pretend that my wacky reasoning is valid.
As a celebration of the 34th post and in tradition with all 34th anniversaries, I will do a recapitulation of my stay here thus far in Australia, it's highs, lows, and all the highlights. Ok just to be cynical I googled 34th anniversary themes thinking that as a joke some smart ass would have posted a silly theme like 34th anniversary=the channel changer year. Instead, they actually have the 34th anniversary classified as the Opal year, and have suggestions on how to buy opals for the anniversary. I am sure it is some marketing scheme (I should know, I am an expert now, ha.) Well I digress on that topic and I am changing the 34th anniversary to the recapitulation anniversary. Now that I have that out of the way, let me proceed.
Ahem....beginning recapitulation:
July 17th:Left from Denver, CO.
