Calm before the storm
Brisbane, Australia:
See, I disappear for a day and you get blessed with TWO posts in one day! It’s just like old times… 
I don’t want you to think that it’s been all rain and clouds and sogginess here in Oz. There was one beautiful day in Byron Bay before the tsunami/monsoon/tears of God hit.
(although to give you an idea of just how much water has fallen, I was walking across William Jolly Bridge today as an 18-wheeler drove through a puddle of water, completely soaking the entire right half of my body. No exaggeration.)
But back to the beautiful weather we had for a day:
Gorgeous, right? I can’t get over the water! You can tell it was dark — clouds were already hanging overhead — but it was great weather to lie on the beach and then hike halfway to the lighthouse, officially mainland Australia’s easternmost point.
Why only halfway? It was HOT and humid and the path went straight up a hill. Call me a wimp (“wimp!”) but I was much more of the mindset to head back to the beach and veg. Of course, walking back downhill the rain started and, well, we all know what came next. 
Complete photo album coming to Facebook soon but for now, it’s time to start thinking about dinner (my favorite thing to think about!).
Wow! That first beach pic is amazing–such an “furthest end of the world” feel to it. I hope the rain subsides soon, too… because touristing on stilts is no fun
The lighting from the clouds kind’ve give the pictures and old fashioned feel. Pretty neat!
Keep posting beautiful pics please
It takes my mind away from all the snow over here!
