Well it's been an adventurous past few days. Driving by more sugar cane, banana, and mango plantations than I care to admitt. Killing wildlife too small to dent the car. And back to wandering the streets of Australia's fine city centers. Today I went to the Brisbane autoshow. Very interesting. Sat in a couple different models of the smart car. Saw companies I've never even heard of. And had the pleasure of trying to figure out which cars were what back in the states.
Another cool thing is the public pool system. It's divided into 3 parts, all with sandy boarders as one would find at the beach. All free, very well planned, and in the middle of a park that was the location for the 1988 worlds fair I believe. Also wandered into couple more museums. It's just so easy here, especially because of the heat combined with the humidity. I know...poor guy has to deal with all that warmth, that must suck. Well I'm sorry, it's hot. Even the locals think so.
Tomorrow off to surfers paradise, and maybe just sitting on the beach. Haven't done that too much yet. But who knows what will really happen!

Well done at the autoshow! I am quite impressed that you could fit in a smart car. From what I remember of them in Rome, they were as big as my wingspan, which doesn't boast well for their size. Impressive indeed. Not to mention the fact that your road kill victims haven't caused more damage to your rentals of the week :-) I hope that streak continues for you since you seem to be incapable of not killing animals when you drive. Best of luck with the surfers, and try not to let the weather get you down.

I don't think you sure be encouraging me to do things like that. But no, there was no surfing, or attempt to play the part of a surfer. It wouldn't have worked anyway. Something to do with the farmers tan I've developed, I guess a wetsuit would have worked. Dang! Well, there's hind sight working its magic once again.
