Brisbane- calm before the storm

The past few days have returned to "normal" except in a new house!!! Well it's actually a very old house, but new for the Wetherstons.

A new house means new places to run and new views, but it also means no Internet for a couple weeks. So my new hangout has been a coffee shop called "The Coffee Club." It's literally a 5 minute walk from their house. The past few afternoons I've spent a few hours updating the blog and working on lesson plans (this trip has been productive as well!!) The people who work here totally know who I am now. :)

Besides working, I've also gone for a run:

Rugby field

Took the kids to a park, "splashed" in puddles aka. Clover:

Saw a baby gecko:

Worked out with my personal trainer and played scrabble a few nights. South Africa took the lead, America came second (almost first the second round), and Australia followed third. Scrabble ended up being very entertaining the first night, due to a few blonde moments of course. Today I ate passion fruit ...the actual fruit...for the first time! Very yum.

Tomorrow starts the second half of my Oceania Adventures as I fly to New Zealand for a month. Here comes skiing, road trips, and some incredible scenery!!! :)
