murri time

On Sunday, I'm leaving to go camping for a week. (So I won't have internet, obviously). I actually won't have any technology with me. No cell phones, i-pods, or computers are allowed. We can't even bring books! We are allowed to have 2 designated photographers for the trip, but no one else can bring a camera. I am hoping for one of those two positions! We'll be on Murri time for the camping trip - which means we'll do things when they need to be done. We're not allowed to bring watches. I'm mostly excited that we won't have to deal with money! After two weeks of figuring out bus fares and receiving stipend money for meals, I'll be glad to leave my wallet behind. We'll be camping a bit north of Cairns, at two different sites, with two aboriginal men, Ian and Russell. We'll be swimming every day to keep clean, since there won't be showers, running water, toilets, etc. I'm sure I'll have much to write when I get back from the trip, but I just wanted to post now to let you all know that I won't be in communication until next Saturday or Sunday!


Me having fun in the lagoon! Makes me want to keep my hair long...

  1. I have his urge to watch the old movie Walkabout again! I think I will. Then I can imagine I'm where you are instead of worrying a lot about you! It sounds very exciting, though. Maybe even life-changing? I hope you don't have to eat dead wallabies or anything. (I know, I know, you'd starve first!) Okay. I'm looking forward to next weekend when you're back safely in Cairns! I love you!

  2. Mom, I'm probably safer in the rainforest than I am in the center of Cairns!
