there was this one time...: the first three days

July 18, 2005

the first three days

were spent in Mount Buller. we drove straight there from the airport, through the gorgeous, lush australian countryside. tons of farm animals just grazing, wild cockatoos flying everywhere... green hills that made me think of sound of music. :) (this is jamie talking if you can't tell:) ) it was crazy going from that horrendous LA heat to this. beauty. love the sight of untouched snow. so peaceful. i managed to take my first ski class. it went alright, i was a bit snappy at the instructor... skiing is supposed to be fun, but it is clearly a lot of hard work.. and if you know me, you know that i am not that athletic. i was whooped. but grateful i had the opportunity. so i only went that first day. the next few days were lounging around the cabin, watching movies, reading, relaxing. so nice. crazy that i didn't have internet for those first days, and i was like in withdrawl-- haha. chris had a blast on the slopes, he's a natural. and he looked like a local up there, all cute in his snowgear. :)

so now we are in the city. i'm totally giddy to be here. ready for our adventures. i am a city girl, you know. :)
