Hello everyone. I just wanted to update because --through an actual miracle-- we have wireless in our apartments and now everything related to the Internet is convenient and easy and great and......short-lived! Tomorrow morning we drive to Lismore at 9am for the homestay reception, where we get picked up by some people and go live in their house for 2 weeks!But first, here are some pictures of our beautiful Byron apartments. Too bad we were only here 3 nights this time, but it was a great 3 nights, with Michelle and Sara in this house to the right.
This one is taken from the stairs. We'll be back to Byron...in late March, after homestay, and after the Aboriginal camping trip....for another 4 nights.The last few days have been very very nice. After we finally were freed from the train, we took a last hour-long bus ride to Byron. Sara, Michelle and I moved into our room, made tea, watched Katy Perry's new song on MTV, and life was good. Thursday was a beautiful day and we had class discussion from 1-4 at the Byron Community Center. Me and the Michelle's planned a group BBQ for that night, so in the morning we went food shopping at the amazing Byron farmers marker --I have never seen a farmers market like it--. After class Michelle BBQ-ed and it turned out to be a perfect group pre-Shabbat dinner at the apartments.
Then today we had an all day fieldtrip -it was a very Field Semester day- to an organic farm, a permaculture intentional community, and a solar power energy company in Nimbin (this picture at the bottom...) We had dinner at Peter (our director's house and got back to the apartments...recently.
So that is it. Homestay tomorrow. And one last picture of our room in the apartment.
