Heat and flies. these two words sum up my trip. it was miserable but thank goodness for fly nets! that was my savior. i got to alice springs and about broke down in tears as it was so hot, desolate, and boring. i soon met a slovakian girl who convinced me to go on an afternoon tour with 3 people total (exciting happening place!) of standley chasm and simpson gap. both very nice scenery amid the swatting of flies. did get to see a wild euro tho...a kangaroo more o...

I recently moved into another house with my friends Kate and Amy. It is not too far from where I was last time but a lot less people.
