The BEST of

We have come full circle and made it home to Eugowra. It is lovely to be home and I wish we had more time to reflect on our journey. As it turns out my Grandpa is not well and his care is taking up much of our time. This other issue is money and we need it so it is hi ho hi ho its off to work we go!

I have had time to reflect on some of the BEST things we did and experienced around Australia so I hope you enjoy it. The BEST thing though was the achievement of completing the trip itself. What a testing, amazing, enjoyable learning about yourself and your husband kind of experience. It was perspective changing and I think I came out the other end a better person with much more experience. What I do know is that I do not know much but I know myslef more than I did before and that is a pretty cool thing.
