Hello Everyone!I have returned from my trip to Margaret River. It was a 4 ½ hour drive down there, but totally worth it. It was fun riding on the bus with everyone, and we even got to make multiple stops along the way.After arriving at our hostel, we played an intense game of soccer and footie before heading for Lake Cave. It was amazing! I really liked the part where they turned all the lights off and then did a light show. The hostel was really simpl...

It was so cool having...

That will be a big adjustment- I like this vacation style. Saturday is swimming with the dolphins so that will be fun. I ...

G'Day everyone! I have made it safe to Perth Australia! The flight was great- really smooth and good food and movies. I am meeting really cool people from my group as well. My family is on vacation so I am staying with my teacher until tonight. She has really broken me in with classic Australian foods and a day at the beach. Yesterday it was in the 80's so we spent the day watching surfers at Cottesloe Beach. This is where Heath Ledger's memorial was at. Nothin...
