2012-08 Perth

The American accent rings odd in my ears. I get tired of both the Australian and the English accent when I’ve been around them for extended periods (there's just that little effort of translation), but this time even so, hearing American accents going on all around seems sort of wrong.


My sleep schedule is a mess.

Coffee, *my* coffee, fresh ground and fresh brewed first thing in the morning in my house is the finest thing I have ever smelled or tasted and I’m considering founding a new religion based on the associated agape.

Jan – Barefoot Jan, my friend who swings through here once a year - is here. She had to reroute a bit to accommodate that I wasn’t here all of August so I didn’t want to put her off anymore. It’s tough though – hard to make time for her visit with so many things that I am trying to catch up. She is putting up with it well enough. She will head up the West Coast of Florida on Friday.  I'll try to make it up to her next year.
Here are the last two links to photos from my trip. One is from the first day in Perth and one is just odds and ends taken on various days. Not many of them.
