An attempt at Penguin Island


Family and Friends-

With one class to go, and nothing but time until we leave for Sydney on Tuesday, a few of us girls were going to trek out to Penguin Island today. Our first sign to turn around, may have been when we tagged on to the Fremantle Train, and found out we were supposed to be on bus #825. After missing the bus, we headed to the coffee shop, while waiting a half hour for the next bus...in the pouring rain! After riding the bus for another half hour, we got off in Rockingham and waited for the second bus to Penguin Island...again, pouring rain :) After almost reaching our destination, we get a call from our friends on the bus before us saying Penguin Island is closed due to poor weather conditions! (If we were in MN, nothing would close unless it was a blizzard with visibility of a couple feet)...well, no worries, we stopped at Subway for some lunch and delicious cookies :) and then headed back to Freo for another hour on the bus. But, one good thing, is we were only charged $1 from our Smart Rider pass, because we were on each bus for less than 30 minutes, meaning free rides!

It's the countdown for Sydney and we're all so anxious! I would pack right now, if I didn't need to wear half my wardrobe between now and my flight! If anyone is interested, here is the link to where I will be staying in Sydney...luxury!

Oh, and lastly, if anyone would like to see the kick off of my modeling career, you can go to www.csbsju.edu and if at first you don't see my debut, just click the 'refresh' button at the top of your web browser (might require multiple 'clicks') but you should eventually come across a familiar face :)

I look forward to updating you all on my adventures in Sydney. Our daily itinerary starts at 7am each day!

Until next time,
Peace and love
