So Far

Almost another month has past and we are still attempting to see everything we can. Winter is in full affect and although it is not as cold as CO, I'm still freezing all the time and can't wait for summer (even if it is over 100 degrees).

The non-ozs (Sally, Keith, Mark and I), took a trip down to Granite Island. A small island off Victor Harbor (a good 1.5 drive from the city). Did some hiking, packed a lunch, saw some penguins and maybe a whale (still not conclusive). The island is a penguin sanctuary where they all come for the night. Posted some pics on flickr - most are of rocks which I somehow really enjoy (makes me think of Simon and Garfunkel, I am a rock...I am an island).

The fourth of July was a bit of a celebration. KPMG held its mid-year bash - black tie, dinner, dancing and a few too many drinks. I must say that there were quite a bit more people dancing than I have ever seen at any other office occasion. There was a live band that wasn't half bad; went from Justin Timberlake to Scissor Sisters in a blink of an eye.

Today Mark and I went hiking in the Belaire National Park (about 20 minutes from the apt). We were expecting to come across two waterfalls for some amazing pics and a nice time relaxing by the water and listening to the splashes. What we did come across were two rock faces with water dribbling down. Not what I would call a waterfall. We figure you have to be there when it is raining for you to really see a waterfall. The hike still had its positives - sighted three koalas sleeping in the trees and one kangaroo hopping about 20 meters from us.

We've started to get back into the groove of a "normal" life. Found a yoga studio next to the office. Mark was able to get a unlimited pass for real cheap so we went as much as possible during the first week and have become addicted. I also found a hip hop class. They don't have any that you can just show up pay $12. Everything is a bit more organized - so I signed up for the term (about 2 months) and have to commit to going every Tuesday night.

Well sorry I haven't written more often - I will try and get better at that. Want to see more photos of me? Check out the link to Mark's Photos...I seem to be in a few of them. Hope all is well where you are.
