Four days in Oz...

The past four days have been a bit of a blur. We arrived late, and then hit the ground running with vocational visits on Wednesday. I met with the Southern Australia Office of Youth, The Burnside City Council Youth Department, and the Adelaide City Council Youth Department. What struck me the most was the opportunity to share and create learning on both sides, and the fact that kids are kids whether they are growing up in Southern Australia or the Vail Valley.

Today, we are in a lovely part of the world inthe village of Stirling (and other nearby towns) in the Adelaide Hills. I have fallen a bit in love with this area. It might be the fact that I got to take more than a hour walk yesterday and during that walk I saw a koala cross the street, and then make it's way up the the bark of a tree, inch-by-inch. It was a moment to remember.
