Dolphins

I can't believe I forgot to tell you about the dolphins we saw. We saw them while we were taking surfing lessons. It was so neat to see them. There were probably about 7 of them about 70 meters away. It made surfing that much more memorable.

Yesterday (Fri) we went to Nimbin. We stopped at this guy Paul's house first. He moved from NY 27 years ago and he basically grew a rainforest. He showed us around his place. We saw some of the different plants, flowers and trees and he told us some pretty far fetched stories. He collected stuff like mad too. He was so much a hippy it just wasn't funny. He carried a knife with him everywhere he went and had really old ripped windpants on....kinda creepy.

Before Paul's house we stopped for macadamia nuts. There were about 50,000 trees growing in the area we drove through. They were really good by the way too!

Nimbin was pretty crazy. They had a lot of different hippy shops. They had a museum there and a bunch cool painted buildings. Saying no thanks to a 13-year old trying to sell you weed it a little disturbing. We weren't in the actual town for very long. On the way home we stopped at Minyon Falls. The waterfall wasn't really flourishing but the view was spectacular. When we got back Sara and I had an all you can eat BBQ. It was surprisingly very good.

We are still trying to figure out how to get out of Byron. All the stupid Oz buses are still full. I'm sure we'll figure something out, and soon.

Happy April Fools by the way! Anybody get anyone good?!? Tell me about it.

I miss you all. Take care!

love, hilary
