BluesFest

Bluesfest (Easter long weekend): Bluesfest was out of this world awesome!! Except for the fact that volunteering meant we had to work for 5 hours each day! We got meal tickets and a t-shirt so that was a bonus. We saw Jack Johnson, Fat Freddys Drop, Tijuana Cartel, Donovan Frankenruiter, A.L.O. Animal Liberation Orchestra (check them out if you can download music or on Pandora), John Butler Trio, and much more!! We met some really cool people. One lady and her sister and husband and son who we are hopefully going to go and stay with later in the year - they were some true ozzies and they got us onto saying “totes” as in totally. It’s a long belly-achingly funny story.

For the next week and a half we stayed in Byron Bay. We would stay over night at a rest area not too far from the beach because there were a gazillion sings saying no parking and no sleeping in your cars and so on. We would get up in the morning and drive to the beach and pretty much do nothing but surf, sun tan, go for walks, and have bbqs ☺ it was lovely but I am ready for a job!! This weekend we are staying with Marnie, an ozzie that Byron met when he was in Tahoe visiting his friend right before he came out here. She lives in the city and her roommates and her are great and have been wonderful hosts. And Marnie is headed back to the states in a few weeks and you guys will be able to meet her ☺ she is going to hang out with Betsy and possibly work at the surf shop, she is really funny! AND GUESS WHAT!? I took a shower! I real shower without my thongs and bathingsuit! And it had warm water! And we did laundry! Its amazing! And we are finally able to charge all of our batteries, which is why I am able to write this blog ☺

We miss everyone at home and think about you daily! LOVE && MISS xoxoxoxoox
