Cairns Update

I'm still in Cairns, staying at the bestest hostel ever (Dreamtime). My friend Lindsay and I are sharing a quite nice twin room (where we are watching many movies, reading lots of books and eating lots of chocolate and skittles). And downstairs from our room (pictures to come, some day), there's a cute little cafe where I work. Yes, I do indeed have a job! Glamourous it's not, but the people are fun, it's usually really busy (we did 101 plates for lunch on Monday this week!), and the commute is fantastic. I'm mainly doing dishes, with some food prep and other things thrown in for fun. In general, I work 10:30am until about 2 or 3, then 6:30 until 9:30 or so. And it's only weekdays, so I've got weekends to get out and enjoy Far North Queensland!

Other than being really glad to have a job, there's not much going on for me. Well, Lindsay and I have planned out a few things we'd like to do before going home (Tasmania, diving in Townsville, New Zealand).

And in the biggest of all news - 15 weeks from today, I will be back in Vancouver! December 17th! When I left, I wasn't sure when I'd be ready to go home, but as it's getting closer, I really do think that by then I'll still be having a great time, but will also be ready to be home. Hopefully you'll all be ready for me to be home, too!
