How exactly did we get here?

Today it is July 15th.

I know, it seems as though I am stating the obvious.

The significance of this date, however,  is that we got on an airplane 6 months ago today.

We will get on another airplane in 6 months to go back to Ottawa (*editor's note: I'm not calling it 'home' since here on Mudgee is current home. 'home' has lost its permanency on this adventure. It really is wherever the 4 of us are. I never truly understood that until we lived it).

To look back on the first 6 months,  it has already been amazing and life changing. 

We will forever travel differently and more often.

We have all grown,  both individuallu and together,  and become significantly more flexible.

We have surfed (check).

We have snorkled the Great Barrier Reef (check).

We have been from Hobart to Cairns - in a variety of sizes of vehicles on the ground - covering 2800 km.

We have put our feet into the oceans, our heads in the clouds and slept by the side of the road. 

We've been to prison (in Port Arthur), to the opera (house in Syndey) and seen street art in Melbourne. 

We have avoided the coldest February in more than a century...only to encounter heaps of Aussies that had driven hours to see the snow that fell here in New South Wales. 

We've been to an Aussie Rules Football game and had meat pies and licorice tea all in the same day.

But truly, even though we blog daily, so much of it is indescribable. 

And there are still 6 amazing months to come.
