I missed it. But I can imagine. I sometimes wonder what some people use for
brains. I don't know what we said about Oz, but I'm sure it was as stupid as
the one about us. I read somewhere that I shouldn't go to Queensland because
they get monsoons sometimes. I think they also mentioned fires. If we
believed half of what they warn us about, we wouldn't go anywhere. I'm
hoping to come back and see some more and meet some more wonderful people
when I can save a few pennies. Yes we still use pennies. And I'll look out
for crocodiles and snakes.
