Hey guys!
Its 9 am Monday morning in beautiful Australia! I am waiting to meet Lauren to go to orientation.
Yesterday we went to St. Kilda beach! It was beautiful! We could see our feet even at waist deep in the water! It was absolutely beautiful! There were food places and bars all along the beach it was just like being at a resort hotel.
Lauren and I got to the beach at about noon and ate some salads then hit the sand! We quickly noticed that we were lacking in the skin color.. We were pale everyone else had a great mid summer tan! We had already put on sunscreen so we just laid on our towels. (somehow we made the sand look dark) When the heat got unbearable we would run into the cold water, well not cold but not 80 degrees! We did this till about 4 o'clock then we went onto one of the patio bars. We started feeling sore and our skin was aching.. The sun had got the best of us! The longer we sat in the shade the more burn we felt! The right sides of our bodies are red and burned! I have just lines where half of my right leg and right arm are burned! My hair is doing this natural ombre thing where my roots are staying dark and the ends are bleaching out! We were insanely unprepared for the equator sun! Luckily I packed some coconut oil so last night I basically took a bath in it and was relieved from the burn enough to sleep!
On the bright(er) side! Yesterday we had oysters and possible clams and two other seafood dishes that were wonderful! We aren't sure what either of them were.. one was wrapped in seaweed and the other pan fried in a sort of cheese stick thing..
Sorry to cut this short! I am going to meet Lauren!
