Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone everywhere. I'm writing this a bit early on Christmas Eve (at least here in Australia time) because there's no way this internet cafe will be open tomorrow. Yep, I'm still in Nimbin right now but will be heading to Sydney shortly to meet up with Amy for New Year's Eve. Yeah!!
Here in Nimbin we'll be having a big gathering of travelers for a big Christmas celebration. Joining me, the lone American, will be at least one Canadian, one German, at least two Israelies, five Japanese, a Scotsman, and even a guy from Sydney who's working on a big trough of sangria right now. The Canadian went out and bought loads of all kinds of meats including beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, and we're looking for a good chunk of kangaroo somewhere. I ate some kangaroo that was "cajun flavored" a couple of days ago for the first time. Definitely tastes different and not at all like chicken but it was good enough. You can't go all the way to Australia and not eat a little kangaroo.
We're going to have a great time here tomorrow but I'll miss everyone back home. It's weird having Christmas here, especially when it's so hot that it doesn't feel a think like traditional holiday times.
Sorry I haven't been able to write everyone back individually just yet. Know that I'm thinking about you and missing you on Christmas. Save some sweet potatoes for me!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!!
