Good Day to all my sweet cupcakes on either side of the world

I sit pretty with a smile as I exploit my free internet privledges I have obtained from Travis (Thanks Trav) Password = Dorm (shhhh don't tell)

Anyways the weekend was great...as mentioned before my great/lovely friend Mr. Trinity came up for a few days and good times were had...Lots of responsible koolaide drinking, and nice festivities....Today he made me laugh so bad that I almost choked on my coffee...twas pure grade two styles (ya know the milk out of the nose) ...uhhh....sooo clumsy I am, I hang my head in shame as I write this....Anyways moving right along.......

We went to a really cool town outside of Cairns called Kuranda, it's an aboriginal town full of art and hippy love.....Really cool place though..we went to this place called Top Bar and met a handful of locals who we played pool with and such...visited a honey store and learned a little about bees....Also met some cool people in an art studio that we should meet up with again...the drive up is really cool..it's at the top of a big mountain with a really cool look-out point...(we went last night and then today as well)...

Now............ not all life can be sunshine all the time I suppose. If everything were always peachy keen then it would be hard to appreciate the many beautiful things in life such as ducks and dates...uhhh ya....

The story is that we seemed to have some car troubles on the way up....We were lucky that Trin is pretty good with cars and he sorta banged a few things making it work enough to get up the mountain and then back down (Thanks).... It started PISSSSSING rain after about an hour of being in town....we were lucky good old JUD didn't decide to die...Poor darling little car...If Jud were an object I reckon he would be something with a lot of duct tape holding it together....perhaps something like how my wallet often looks....(I'm real stubourne and centimental about wallets and refuse to get ride of them until they explode like poor old George Costanza....(great episode)....

Another good piece of news is that the tyre (that's how it's spelled here) mystery has been solved. I'm not going to get into details, but what I can say is it wasn't Will....What does matter is that we got new tyres, and will be getting our money back. No dramas.....the culprit who shall remain nameless will just not be a part of our lives after we get our money (no violence or anything Mom and Dad don't worry/I will not ruin our great Canadian stereo-types)....That's all I'll say about that though....

hmmm what else...........OOOO uhmmm ahhhh not too sure really......one weird thing that happened was that today when Trin and I went to get stuff from the car in the lot we met some cops that took our info because some homeless guy died in the parking lot in a bush and was apparently there for a few days or something... (Natural causes though, no signs of foul play or anything).....it's weird because we were all hanging out there the night before too, hmm???? We met a weird guy in town that carries HEAPS of straws in his pocket and we were hoping that it wasn't him....He was an interesting fellow though....just tons of straws in every pocket and he kinda has matching sunglasses that he wears low on his nose...he always goes around and chats the people up asking for smokes and things....We were walking down the road today though and bumped into him...I tipped my imaginary hat and said hello......There are not many homeless poeple in Australia, and the ones that you do meet are not like the ones in Toronto....I wonder why there are so many homeless people in Toronto a little more now....They seem to be complete different breeds...up in Cairns everyone is real laid back so it's not really very awkward when you talk to a 'tramp' <--aussie/pom for homeless. I was really interested in learning why he has so many straws...I asked him and he was just sort of like ya just cause...no real answers to my inquiries......I wish I had a green straw...I would surely give it to him they would complement his sunnies....I will keep on the look out for them.

I think those are the main highlights though.........I wont babble on anymore I'll just steal a bunch of pictures from the internet and post them above

Good Night/Morning to you all
Love:
Chrissy
