Riding in Vancouver

I finally get to catch up with my 'country' cousins and take some riding lessons (and ironically I take them in big city Vancouver). Here's the most action packed one I could find, trotting over poles that are actually off the ground. It's great, on Saturday mornings I cycle for 25 min to Southlands which is this bizarre little pocket of mini horse farms in the city of Vancouver.

Arizona

Hi everyone,

Well the weather in Texas could have been better, but at least there wasn't any snow! We have moved on and are now in Arizona where our next destination will be Yuma....can't get much further south then that around here!!

We spent a day in Tombstone, Arizona and that is quite the town! It is like an original cowboy town where they re-create gunfights etc. Lots of shops, although they start to look alike after the first three or so.

We are currently at a library here in Benson which is southeast of Tuscon. Take care and try to stay warm!!

Thanks Mom!

Alright, Now I remember how to post one, thanks to mom. It's been awhile since I last posted a blog...Much has happened here in hot Aussie! I've been on a 2 week holiday up the coast with George to Cairns, Port Douglas, and all the beautiful beaches along the way! I will be posting some pics as soon as I get the chance to save some to CD. I've also moved house in the last month and am finally settling down in the new unit with George and 2 other flat mates. Ains is still wih us and having a great time! She spends most of her time at work... or Micheals (but I didn't say that Donna! ) and I'm at work alot as well, so we haven't seen much of each other lately. It will be sad when she goes though. Other then that, not much else is news here.... I start uni again in March, and am ready for my last year. As mom pointed out, my graduation is in December and I'd love to see the family! I realize it's a huge trip - but just think of it as a well deserved holiday!
Anyway, hope all is well with everyone. And thanks again Carly for setting this up!
Lots of Love;
