A better afternoon

Well, after a terrible time trying to organise internet that would work in my apartment, i went for a walk and found this really nice park. It runs alongside a man-made lake and I think it'll be good for jogging around. I'll have to go in the morning or late afternoon as it's very hot and humid here...not unlike a Queensland summer, although possibly even stickier!!

I also managed to log onto a trial internet account for 24hrs. It's not great...it keeps cutting out and it's not letting me upload photos to the blog page, but it's better than nothing and at least I don't feel quite so far away from everyone! Funny how only 3 yrs ago when I went to Cambodia I was lucky to get online at an internet cafe once a week, and now I can't cope without it!! In 2001 when I went on my 3month trip around the world, I only got online once or twice the entire trip!! How our world has changed!! I did have company on both of those trips when I arrived at my destinations, however, whereas this time I am truly on my own.

So I'm grateful for small mercies, such as a nice park to walk in and some contact with friends and family. Praise God! Tomorrow should be a nice, relaxing day before jumping into the medicine on Monday. Hopefully I get some pre-reading done tomorrow, hehe!!
