Australia

    I have spent the last ten days in Western Australia.  Being January, the weather has been the equivalent of July in the northern hemisphere with the climate similar in most ways to mid and southern California.
    My hosts have been extremely generous.  They bought my plane ticket to come here, though their jobs have kept them away from the house up to twelve and even fourteen hours a day!  Therefore, my time is spent mostly alone riding trains and buses around the area and miles upon miles of walking.
