I hope that you do not mind when I place photos on the web before an actual explanation of the activity. That’s just the way it’s working out at the moment.<br />I find myself with exactly three months left in Australia and about two months left at The Magdalene Centre. It is hard to believe that I have been working an entire month already. Things are very busy, as you would expect when providing emergency assistance. I am very thankful for the opportunity to gain such valuable experience and am finding myself in the working stages of my time there.

as it is usually well above 100 most days. Even though I was expecting a summer similar to Texas, this has been a pleasant change.

I began my weekend with an early morning Saturday run. I have been attending exercise classes in the evenings at a local gym but this was my first time to venture out for a long run. Adelaide, like Austin (they are sister cities by the way), has a river which runs through a portion of the city. The Torrens River is bordered by parks and jogging trails much like Town Lake Park. On the way to the Torrens River I stopped by the International Rose Garden located just inside the Botanic Gardens. Adelaide has more rose gardens than any other nation and the International Rose Garden actually contains over 5000 roses.
