Hi all Byron here, im finally in Australia or as they say "Straya" its so beautiful and warm Allie and I have already found a van to travel in and or picking it up on monday. Also work is fairly easy to find and have found work at some fun festivals around Melbourne.
The travels to Aussie where amazing. Seattle/Bellingham is so nice and lush i cant wait to go back and visit. it a place that i would love to spend more time in. I was able to visit with long time friends Daisy, Sunny, Charles and their kids. We did some hiking and then Gary, Sunnys husband cooked an amazing grilled fresh salmon dinner with chicken kabobs...hmmm yum. the visit was short and sweet and i wish i could have stayed longer but on to the next adventure.
Lake Tahoe!!!!! what can i say other than unbelievable mountain town on an amazing lake with heaps of cool people (lots of ozzies). was able to go to the Northstar resort and snowboard all day!! never being on a mountain my body took a beating but it was 100% worth it. also was nice to visit with Kyle Slater who i
graduated from high school with, well enough snow im ready for the heat!! on to L.A.
L.A. is HUGE WOW jsut flying in to the city was jaw dropping. Cuzin Johnny Tree picked me up and had a nice little dinner planned. what a great cook the food was amazing! we just took it easy and played some poker.
next day Amelian and I (johns gf) took bikes down to venice beach wich is like 3 blocks from there apt.
If you ever want to see every walk of life go to venice beach ha it was pretty cool and the surf was up so it was cool to see some nice waves come off the ocean. After the bike ride we went hiking to Eagle Rock wich was a good hike the only thing in cali is that your never alone so always expect to see others where you go.
that night we went over to Jebba Hunts who just got back from Asia and had another amazing dinner and watch some footage from his trip. pretty cool he got to hang out with some tigers.
next day my mate mark from san diego came up and we just
went back to venice beach and caught up on old times.
that night we went to Hollywood the the Lucky Strike bowling where we met up with Johns sis Kate and had a great time bowling and meeting all her friends. L.A. is an interesting city with heaps going on and I definitely would like to visit on my way back home to Michigan but enough of the USA time for some Down Unda time
I leave the next evening for the 15 hour flight wich went very well i slept most of the time so it went fast and then was picked up by Allie. It is so nice to see her and be able to enjoy each others company. time for the real adventure to start!!!!
