I'm Back From the Future!

That's right! I'm back from the other side of the world! Well, not really if you travel the other way... I spent 2 and a half weeks in New Zealand and one week in Australia and it was amazing! I went all over New Zealand, and to Sydney and Cairns in Australia. I don't have the time to tell you every detail about my trip, but to sum it up, I flew on 7 different planes and went canyoning, lugging, hiking, black water rafting, white water rafting, quad biking, museum-ing, mudbath-ing, cruising, scuba diving, skydiving, snorkeling, dancing, sightseeing, drawing, swimming, relaxing, partying, jet boating, new-people-meeting, hitchhiking, walking, walking, and walking. It was incredible! My new digital camera could only hold 15 pictures, so here they are! Naw, come on, you didn't believe that for a second. I have hundreds of pictures and these are just a select few. I'm probably going to set up a site with all of them, mainly for my family and close friends to see, but I'll post a link once it's up if anyone else is curious or wants to see more beautiful landscapes. And they are beautiful! Amazing even! I drew a lot on my trip and will post some drawings once I can scan some in, probably tomorrow. I'll also post some of the more interesting photos, as well as an account of my visit to the last Disney studio making a 2-D film right now. It was quite an adventure and wish I could've stayed longer, but it's great to be back! My life batteries are recharged, so to speak, and I'm so happy I took this journey. I highly suggest it to everyone, to get out from in front of that computer or desk and go live life for a bit. It's quite fun and rewarding. (above Pahia Beach, NZ)

But would you eat a sea cucumber with you being a vegan and all?

Did you school them at ping pong? I hope you did, you have a rep to keep up.
