I didn't realize it has been so long since we last updated our site. We are still in Adelaide and haven't really done any touristy stuff. Since our last post we celebrated our 6th anniversary together and Trev's 25th birthday.

A couple of weeks ago we took a weekend trip to Yorke's Penninsula. It was a beautiful drive and we stayed in Innes National Park. It's this huge park right on the ocean and there are a number of scenic routes and views. It was really quite incredible. We saw wild Kangaroos hopping around the campsites and wild emus roaming along side the road. One of the tourist attractions was an abandonded little town. Most of the houses and stores were still standing, but barely. You could even rent out one of the houses to stay in if you wanted, but we just stayed in our van.

For Trev's birthday we went go-karting. It was lots of fun, even though I wasn't very good. Trev (and everyone else) lapped me a couple of times, and I crashed twice. After, we went out to dinner and then to a drive-in movie. On the weekend we celebrated by each attempting to drink 25 drinks in honour of Trevor's 25 years. Dan made it to 25 before we even got to the bars, he had to head home early. Trev and our new friend Benny made it to 25 by the end of the night, and I wasn't even close. All in all it was a good night though, but the next day wasn't too productive.

About 3 weeks ago Trev and I went on a wine tour with one of the girls we met on our first sailing trip. It was organized by one of the University committees, so it was a bunch of 20somethings getting drunk for free. We were at the first winery before noon and we tasted about 7 or 8 different wines. We were well on our way to a good day. We tasted a lot of good wine that day and purchased a few bottles and made some new friends. We invited them back to Dan's house and had some more wine and pizza before heading out to go dancing.

So, that's pretty much what we have been doing in Adelaide - drinking! We've made some really good friends too. And, we have been working. Dan got Trev hooked up programming some sort of porgrame for the University making some good money. I finally got a job working at a pizza place. It's not my ideal job, but I get paid cash and I get quite a few hours. The only problem is, I have to work nights and weekends, so no more partying for me.

We plan to stay in Adelaide for another couple of weeks, maybe to the end of July then move on to Perth I think. Oddly enough, Dan likes having us around so we can stay there as long as we need to. We should be getting some new photos up on the website soon too, shots from Trev's party and after the wine tour.
