I hope that you do not mind when I place photos on the web before an actual explanation of the activity. That’s just the way it’s working out at the moment. I find myself with exactly three months left in Australia and about two months left at The Magdalene Centre. It is hard to believe that I have been working an entire month already. Things are very busy, as you would expect when providing emergency assistance. I am very thankful for the opportunity to gain such valuable experience and am finding myself in the working stages of my time there. Last Tuesday, we all took an outing to the Botanic Gardens to watch a movie in the park. Moonlight Cinema shows movies beneath the night sky during the summer months. We had the opportunity to bring ... read more

I would have to say that my visit to Mt. Lofty Summit and Cleland Wildlife Park were the highlight of my week. Mt Lofty Summit was incredible. It was only a quick ten-minute stop on the way to Cleland but it was all I needed to take in the breathtaking views of Adelaide. I really did not realize how very close I live to the ocean. I am surrounded by water! As you look through the pictures you might want to note that I live in the upper right hand corner of the city. What an amazing place to live… Mt. Lofty and Cleland are only a 30 minute bus ride outside of the city and definitely worth the trip. Cleland was quite different from my experience at the zoo. I actually fed kangaroos and mingled ... read more

This week held lots of excitement: I received my first piece of “real” mail and phone call from the states followed by several outgoing calls on my end. I also celebrated Australia Day on the 26th. A fellow American (co-worker of Amber’s) invited us all over for a barbie near the beach. We spent most of our time inside watching cricket and tennis before grilling snags due to the excruciating heat. When I say excruciating, I mean it! Temperatures reached over 100 degrees with slight humidity. I felt like I was melting! We actually finished our Australia Day celebration on Saturday over at Ossian’s flat where we watched a 20 minute firework presentation from his balcony. Earlier that day, Amber and I had the chance to visit the Tandanya (a name given to Adelaide by the ... read more

So, I said I would not make any promises and here I am a little over three weeks later, feels like much longer. I spent the following few days doing the cultural touristy stuff since I was on my own, I hit the State Library, The Botanical Gardens, Museum of South Australia and Aboriginal Art Museum, some definitely more interesting than others but each definitely worth a look, some fascinating art. The Botanical Gardens were beautiful and I found myself there almost every afternoon until the rest of the crew arrived. I had the chance to spend some time with people from all over the world, with roommates from Hong Kong, Germany, Sweden and France. I spent most of my time with two guys from England one who was a worker at the hostel and one ... read more
