A walking we shall go...


The dreaded day came where I had to say bye to my favorite Aussie boys.  Honestly these boys have proved to me that there still are nice guys out there who do really care for you.  You boys are some of the nicest, most thoughtful, and caring people I have ever met!  I miss you all already!

My brilliant American mind thought it would be a wonderful idea to go for a bush walk or something active rather than the standard meeting in the city for some over priced meal.  Then we decided to make a BBQ of it, but this BBQ did not include burgers like the standard American ones do.  But the food was still amazing and of course we had way too much.

Back to the bushwalk (which is walking in the bush pronounced like “boosh” sometimes there are dirt pathways, sometimes there aren’t, sometimes there are bugs and animals, sometimes theres a million steep steps when you thought it was all downhill, it can be pretty unpredictable you get the idea).  Anyways while living in Berowra I was always hearing about this bushwalk that goes down to Berowra Waters, which is a little river that you would never expect to be there.  Anyways the hike/walk/whatever you want to call it was pretty intense and we did not look like professionals like some of the intense people with backpacks, sticks, and hiking shoes looked (although Ben tried to make his own walking stick but that’s another story).

Kitcheners!

After dinner we all sat around the table for hours, laughing up a storm.  My host parents couldn’t believe that there was never a silent moment the entire day.  The group gets along so well and we constantly make fun of one another but each of us takes the others sarcasm well and laughs it off.
