Sunday I was able to go to the local zoo close to the base, it was really incredible! So far has been the best part of this trip! I keep exploring some everyday and hope to it up the Aquarium this week. It’s hard when everything closes at 5pm. I’ll write more about Perth soon.

Finally they said it! I went to the convenience store for some food and someone said “G’day Mate” my response was very scintillating by saying, “Hey?! How are you doing?” He then realized….oh…American. His goodbye to me was, “Have a good Weekend.” So far hearing ‘G’day Mate’, ‘No Worries’, ‘Cheers’ (as a form of thanks), and bugger has been fun and makes me want to mimic the Australian accent.

Now driving around has been a bitch for me! I’m forced to use my left hand and the right side of my brain , something I’m not used to and definitely want to work on. I’m waiting to accidentally drive on the wrong side of the road, it hasn’t happened yet. My shift at work starts at 4am and I have to pay extra attention when there are no cars on the road for which side to drive on.  I have lost a hub cap though, I accidently hit the curb one morning while looking at the map….no worries!

It’s been good being here, work has been super busy and I haven’t had a chance to explore much, here are some of the photos so far.   I’m already working on a short less entertaining video, of walking up the SwanBells.

Aiden’s here and doing well! He arrived Monday around Lunch time on his Dad’s favorite day Cinco de Mayo! You can see the touching story of how Jay was able to be there! It’s really good to hear how well it worked. I wish I could have been outside the delivery room, but alas I was there in Spirit while United (see what I did). Anyways, Happy Birthday little man, I can’t wait to meet ya!
