Family and friends~
Well last night was St. Patrick's Day down under, and it was low key for a few of us. Most of our group headed to Rosie O'Grady's Pub and danced the night away. I went with Sara, Emily, and Tonya, and we just went for about an hour just to say we celebrated. Everyone was dressed in green and it was a blast! Since I had class early the next morning, it had to be an earlier night in, but that's probably for the best.
Over the weekend, most of the study abroad student went the the Caversham Wildlife Park and we took tons of pictures (I'll hopefully have those up soon) of all the unique animals that are native to Australia. I got to hold a wombat! It resembles a pig, but furry, and it's a marsupial, so it has a pouch for its baby. We also got to feed and pet some kangaroos, see a Tasmanian Devil, which surprisingly, does not spin :) There were so many fun and exotic creatures there and it was the first time I had seen any of them, since it's rare you would see a koala just chillin' out in a nearby tree in the city. I can't wait to show you all pictures.
Tomorrow, which is Wednesday for me, a group of 8 of us have rented a van and we are traveling up north along the west coast of Australia for 6 fun-filled days full of adventures. We are going to stop in Monkey Mia which is 8 hours away, to swim with dolphins, and then continue on our way for another 8 hours up the coast to our destination of Exmouth. It's Easter weekend, so it's going to be very busy in the area, but we'll be able to swim and scuba dive with all the exotic fish and see beautiful corals. I will definitely update everyone on everything I do when I return the Monday after Easter. I hope everyone has a Happy Easter and I will talk to you soon!
Peace and love,
Molly
