Rebas' Adventure in Ozzieland

Golf! Who knew I liked golf? Well, I have never actually gone golfing for real, but I have been Disc Golfing (Frisbee golf) several times and loved it, and now I have gone Super Golfing and had a wonderful time. I will have to try regular golf and some point and see if it is for me. I had never heard of super golf before I went with my friends, Sarah (dark hair), Becky (the one hugging me), and Richard (the only man present, Richard is a good sport) on Saturday. It is just like regular golf except the club heads and balls are about 3 times as big. I would say the ball was about the same weight and material as a regular golf ball, but hollow and the size of a tennis ball. The clubs were plastic and they had left-handed ones! And it turns out I can hit a golf ball straight for 50 meters every time! I was continually the best shot at every tee (we played nine holes). Sadly for me, after my first fantastic boast-worthy swing, I took an average of 18,000 strokes to get the darn ball in the stupid hole! At the end I can in third (Richard won). It was such a perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. I greased myself up with sunscreen and wore my summer hat. I have yet to get a real sunburn, knock on wood. The first two pictures you see above you are from Saturday morning. Sarah picked me up and we went into Fremantle (am I still house sitting until Friday). We went to the Fremantle Markets, think Portland Saturday Market, very similar. Anyway, one stall had a bunch of American candy. Now I would not say I am home sick as such, I am very happy here. I have notice, though, that I become very excited to see all things American. I bought a small bag of Hot Tamales and Reese’s Pieces. By small bag, I mean “fun Size” and those cost $3 each, but it made me happy. Sarah had never had a Tootie Roll, so I bought one of those too, but we ended up buying Iced Chocolates so we didn’t get around to eating the candy that day. What is an Iced Chocolate you say? It is sort of like a shake and sort of like an old fashion ice cream soda. You coat a glass in chocolate sauce, add a scoop of ice cream and fill it up with cold milk; to be fancy you add whip cream and sprinkles on top. Not too shabby, and just the thing for a hot day. I have decided that for High Chocolate this year we will do iced chocolate instead of hot chocolate seeing as it will be very hot then. Or maybe I will do both? Stay tuned to find out!
