After my first week cooped up at work (which I LOVE! So not really cooped up, but away from sunlight), John realized how much I needed a day out of the house. His answer was a trip to Fremantle... It's a really cute little town south of Perth filled with hippies and adorable little markets. I bought a new purse (for $35 instead of the usually inflated price of $120), fresh fruit and veggies, moisturiser (I have to write in International English now...), and postcards for my favorite people in the world (... if you want an awkward kangaroo postcard, send me your address!) and ground coffee beans and chai! John also introduced me to the 'best' fish and chips in Australia. I really am going to need to be pushed a little harder to accept the whole fish and chips thing... but I'll try it a couple of more times. For now, I'll get my kicks from tormenting the seagulls.
Thank you for an amazing day Johnny!
I really live in a lethal city! (Although one of the people we bought a bed frame assured me that the sharks in Australia have rubber teeth... I'm really hoping she was serious.)
The best, most entertaining, fish and chips in Australia.
A lot of buildings in Australia are really modern and unoriginal. I feel a lot more foreign whenever I see a building that looks really "Australian" *see Nicole Kidman's Australia and other cliche films* like I'm out of the USA.
Instead of driving, John and I took the train. It was great to stop for a second in each town and have the train operator say... "This is Wallagonabie"... *not a real town name... but it's possible!*... It makes me feel like somebody is introducing me to the different towns along the way! Thank you, Australia, you really are quite friendly. (Except for the rude panty lady at Myers)
