Tropic Days

Sorry, it's been a few days and this is going to be a quick post cause I am sleepy. I got into Cairns Monday night and have been staying at the cutest hostel, Tropic Days. My room is huge and only has three beds (no bunks, much more exciting than I ever would have thought) and has hammocks and a pool and a dog named Chil Pepper. I have also been taking a scuba diving certification class. There are only two other people in my class and we have two instructors so it has been pretty nice. Tomorrow I head out to the reef and spend the night and get to do 5 dives, including a night dive. I can't wait! I have also met up with my first camp friend and from here on out I think I get to see camp people all the time (yay!) Yanni and I went on a mini pub crawl and I learned that international drunk dialing doesn't really work (stupid time difference.) last night I got to watch some fine Australian tv and eat a delicious dinner made by chef Yanni. My roommates in the hostel were two fun British girls who kept me from going to bed last night and has resulted in me being very tired and ready to go to bed even though it is only 6 pm. There is a pizza party tonight at the hostel but I think I can make it to sleep by 9 if I am lucky. Also, I am very happy because this is the first time I have written on this blog and the directions have been in English. They are usually in Chinese (I think) which has been tricky to figure out, but I seem to have done an ok job at guessing what to do. I am still waiting to find a place where it costs under 4 dollars an hour to use the computer so that I can post photos, but until then Amy has put hers on facebook and tagged me in them, so you can see some there if you have an account.
