I LIKE RANCH

I like ranch, lets ponder this, one could say it as a statement, I like ranch, or one could say it as a passive sigh, ahh I like ranch. On the other hand my friend Rene says it when asking for something, for example, we were at subway and they asked what sort of sause he would like on his sandwhich and he simply stated, "I like ranch". I regret busting up laughing, and later let him know its "I'd like ranch" or I would like ranch. but I still sms him fun messages like "I like ranch" to tease him about his "poor english" as he would put it. Its brilliant.

Anyway today I'm here to tell you about this past week. well its been fun as always and full of many adventures. The biggest one was traveling with friends from church to Yanchep National Park about 30 minutes north and camping for 3 nights and 4 days. The best thing EVER!!! The things we did included, swimming in the Indian ocean, body boarding at 6 am, attemptingn to sand surf, have wrestling matches on the beach at midnight under the crystal clear sky, play volleyball(my team won), play ultimate frisbee(no comment haha), relax and just have a blast! I saw a giant lizzard!!! It was like 1.5 feet long and I almost stepped on it coming out of the bathroom or as they call it over here the toilet. I also went running a few days earlier and saw a baby turtle and helped it on its way a bit cuz it looked so dry, it was the cutest thing!! It was about the size of a 1/2 dollar or the dial thing on an Ipod. We saw kookaburras, parrots, and all sorts of stuff!!! I had some great conversations, lessons, and realizations over this weekend. It was amazing. Oh if you get the chance try bread with french fries called chips over here and sauce or ketchup and chicken, its pretty much brilliant! I gained some good friends and will never forget this weekend. I love camping. This week I embark on another adventure. well first, tonight Jazmin and I were hanging out just for fun and Rene walked into my room!! OK this normally wouldn't be that big of a deal but he had been gone for a week!!!! So it was pretty exciting. Ok back to my adventure, tomorrow I leave for 3 days on a bike trip on the Mundi biddi trail with 3 awesome adventurous girls. And thats not all folks, we end our journy on Sunday around 12 and get back around 1, and then at 2 I will be picked up and transported to Fairbridge camp for a week long camp. good times are comin. I will then finish on Friday and be transported back where I will collapse and not move until monday. Just kidding. I will probably do laundry and write all my fun adventures in here. so stay tuned. I am trying to think of a funny story from this weekend but I like the ranch one to much. Oh Rene and Jazmin were trying to teach me German and I was trying to sound out the words on Jazmin's phone and they were just laughing at me and my bad pronunciation. Speaking of Pronunciation Australians emphasise weird parts of words, like in Massage we say MassAse where they say MAssage, ok just ask me to say it, same with Weekend they emphasise end instead of Week, and of course there is the famous nooie or I knowee with saying e on the end, its so weird. Well good luck with that I look forward to hearing your interpretation of these funny sounding words. Until then...
