Creatures...

Our trip was filled with animal sightings and interactions. In each country we had unique experiences, though it was Australia that provided us the most extreme exposures. Here is a little sample of some of the creatures we spotted and/or befriended:

A friendly kangaroo...
A sleepy koala...
A hiking rooster...

Some brilliant glow worms...

A fearless flier...

A lazy crocodile...
and a graceful sea turtle!

Returned...

It is official: we have returned! The past few weeks were spent traveling around the southern hemisphere and visiting our good friend Annie. Wow! We had a wonderful time, and apparently our dog did as well because she has been virtually crashed out since we picked her up yesterday afternoon. Lindsey did a lot of running on the ranch and socializing with the other dogs. Hopefully she didn't pick up too many new bad habits there, though I guess we'll find out in the coming days. I'll try to post some photos later on after I finish all of my errands and laundry!
