Yesterday (Thursday) I decided to take a trip to Yeppoon and to have a nice beach day. Yeppoon is a beautiful town on the coast with a wonderful downtown full of little shops and art galleries. It was great playing in the ocean, enjoying some delicious beachfront café food, and chatting with locals. I wish I could experience that more!

**Lunch! A grilled chicken, avocado, and feta cheese wrap with fresh fruit.

This week, classes will resume and I'll return to my routine! It's crazy to think that I've been here for about seven weeks already. Time is flying by so very fast and Rockhampton is quickly becoming another home to me. Last week was a tough one for me in terms of homesickness! A friend of mine posted a quote on Facebook recently and it really struck a chord with me and how I was and am feeling. "You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place." - Unknown. As I'm getting closer to friends here, I know that it will be extremely tough for me to leave when the time comes. But, that's a ways away still- I'm enjoying every day "down under"!
Until next time,
Tina
