A very short post. The day today was all about getting here, and here we are. We started out in the dark, and then it started raining. The good thing about that is that they really needed the rain. It is very dry right now in Australia and there are scrub fires happening. We actually saw the smoke the day we went hunting for the waterfalls and then on our way home, on our long, long way home we traveled through some of the area that was still burning. I guess it happens here as they did not shut the road down or anything. There was a person up by it, so I imagine he had it under control. It burned right down to the road. Oh, anyway, back to our travels today. Lots of roadwork just like back home except the driving speed is quite abit faster here.
We were lucky enough to get to see the dawn sky before it clouded in and started downpouring.
The rest of the day was mile by mile and conversation by conversation about all kinds of things, but one of our most important aspects of our relationship of 25 years married life is that there is no need to fill a companionable silence. It is filled with love and respect <3 and a joint venture and adventure. We love the fact that we brought along dry bagged hiking food from REI, as it has been so great to be able to have meals with an already roasted chicken supplemented by the dry ration bags. It makes the dinners that we eat out sparse but more enjoyable because we have been so good.
Will check in tomorrow if it works
