I'm Keen
We are here in the Land Down Under. The weather is dreamy in Cairns. We board a boat tomorrow to dive the Great Barrier Reef. We are blessed and spoiled. I jokingly told Darren as we ate freshly squeezed juice and freshly caught seafood that I was "so happy" that it doesn't take much for me to "be happy." We will see the Land of Wonder Land Down Under in 10 days. Spot On! I sat on the promenade in town today and watched the tide go out. The little crabs and mud whelks scampering in the muddy flats. A one legged egret, matching the single-legged mangroves struggling to take hold. The air is addicting here. Breath deeper. Breathe deep. I went to the Cairns Regional Gallery today and soaked in the ice cream colors of Beverly Budgen. Gorgeous. We forgot our camera and so Darren is off to buy one. Just close your eyes and imagine.

How's the vegemite? Just kidding - could never stomach the stuff, but the Italian's version Nutella is quite nice. Tastes like chocolate paste. Miss you guys tons - so sorry we missed you at the airport. Maybe on your way back and we can see Land too. My boys cannot figure out what you are under in the land down under. They crack me up. Have fun and let me know if you see Keith Urban or any other famous Aussie.
our neivours from Utah are now neivours from down under...at least for a while. How was the trip? Sounds amazing! Can't wait to see your photos from your new Aussie camera! Love the Gores
