Perth

I made it safely to Perth! It's so amazing, I love it here. I'm still getting used to everything because it's all a lot different than home. The base here is beautiful. Things are different than I expected though, I was expecting to live in the base in dorms but instead, my friend Kaitlin and I and a few other girls live in a separate house that is a 15 minute walk from the base. It's nice though, I'm glad I live in the house rather than the dorms because I have a full kitchen and a really nice backyard. Here's a picture of my room and the hangout room in my house.

Yesterday my friends and I went I this cute little town called Mt. Lawley and went to this cafe, everything is a little bit more expensive in Australia but when I saw that an iced coffee was $6 I was quite surprised, until I saw what the iced coffee looked like.

There is ice cream in te iced coffee, it was a sweet surprise.

Anyways the people here are incredibly nice, they are so so friendly and make me feel right at home. I am confidant that I am going to have the best time of my life these next 6 months!
