On Friday, we decided to drive up the mountain to see the Natural Bridge and glow worms. It had been raining basically all week, and this day was no different. The next day, we all woke up early and spent the morning at the beach, then drove south into New South Wales with a couple of our Aussie friends to shop in Byron Bay. We took the most epic hike through a mountain and stood on the most easternly tip of Australia, where we could see the ocean from either side (I think this means we were closer to home from the other side of the globe) So incredibly beautiful!
On an exciting note, Australia is now on tsunami watch! We were with the moms at the Sheraton hotel when the Australian government posted signs about the beach being closed. We didn't think they meant it, but then sure enough, we saw police jeeps scaling the beach, kicking people off. Crazy.
Now we've sent the mom's off and are back to routine. CJ and I joined a salsa club a few weeks ago and are taking dance lessons every Monday night. It's really fun-- we're planning on going dancing this Friday at QBar, which is the tallest skyscraper on the Gold Coast and has a 360 degree view of the city and the ocean. In the meantime, CJ's been brushing up on his 'Jose' alter-ego and Mexican accent.
It's been raining like crazy here the last couple of weeks... I'm still appreciating the warmth, but I'd be happy for some sunshine pretty soon.
