Albury, my new home?

Anne's solo adventure began today. I left Sydney on a train (which actually broke down in the middle of nowhere and we sat there (with no power ie air conditioning) for an hour and a half. boo. but I watched the scenery turn from gree and full of trees, to less trees, to brown and a few trees and it looked like that for the rest of the trip. and it looks like that in Albury. Shane and Noni, a couple from the Lutheran church here in Albury, met me at the train station and took me home for a BBQ. I'll be staying here until I find a place of my own in a week or so I guess. It was a lonely trip today without my travelling buddy, but we text messaged eachother with our mobiles. which by the way, I have a new number. Kristen's only phone need a new SIM card for it to work I guess (so no Kristen I didn;'t get your text). So my new number it 0434 838 191. you'll still have to dial the country code and all that like before... but cal me if you're going into Anne withdrawl. Or you can send me a text too! What else? Oh, yes Julie, my tummy is that brown too... maybe a little lighter, but yeah, I'm dark. Last night getting ready for the opera was the first time in a month I had actually looked at myself in a mirror for longer than to check to see if i had food in my teeth. I almost didn't recognize myself. and yeah, I was shocked to see that picture too. Marcey says I look like I'm from a differnt race. So I fit in with the Maori people pretty well. lol. Well, I have a few more pictures I'd like to get on here in the next few days... so stay tuned! Especially the one of the Aussie spider I saw today!! I was pretty excited, Marcey was not. Shane and Noni also have a new kitten, so I'm loveing it here. This cat actually likes to play with me!! :)
take care!
