Hello from the other side of the planet...

We made it to Sydney! My bag was lost for 36 hours, but it did manage to show up.

I bought a bicycle to keep here and managed to fall on my ass the first time I stopped. I forgot to adjust the pedal release tension and fell over HARD when my feet wouldn't come off the pedals. It still hurts to sit down and that was 3 days ago! I took my bike out again yesterday and ended up on a six lane freeway that had NO shoulders. Just a big cement wall at the edge of the road and no where to go. I was trapped! Hard to explain, but it REALLY SUCKED!!!

It's winter here, so the days are short and cool. Highs in the upper 50s and the sun sets at 5:30. Still nice and sunny though. More later, I just wanted to get this initial post up and some pictures. Stay tuned...

He spent 3 weeks in the Amazon and came back with a really small head!
