Adventures in Funchester

Today, my friends,

I ventured out from the confines of the camp and into the "real" world of Winchester, West Virginia. American girl who I work with in the riding staff, who has a car and who convieniently had her day off today aswell!
Twas mucho fun driving into Winchester, I got carsick for the first 15 minutes due to not being in a moving vehical (split into three syllables here Vee-hi-cal) for almost a month. I'VE BEEN AT CAMP FOR A MONTH NOW! And what an amazing and eventful month it has been. But I digress.
Funchester! Liz, the amazing lovely lady with the car, was meeting her parentals (who, by the way, had been driving since 10:30 pm last night from Tenassee) so they could give her her lap top. I'm wondering why my parents can't catch a plane from Canberra to Sydney, Sydney to LAX, hang around LAX for 12 hours and then fly to Washington Dulles airport, drive another hour and a half to camp and give me some love... at least Undies and Bra's are on the way! (I love my mum)
Wow I'm exceptionally bad at this sticking to the story thing tonight. So.. ouch my bum is getting sore from sitting on the hard wood floor when there is CLEARLY 1,2,3,4,5,6 places more comfy to sit than here...


To be continued...

Wild, West Virginia or Virgina?

So I didn't end up shitting my pants the day before I left.. which turned out to be a good thing because I ran out of clean undies after the first week here.
We had a novel trip to Wall -Mart where I bought the medium size cheapy undies which turned out to be HUGE. Second time lucky when I didn't personally shop for my own undies and got small.

I'm currently sitting in the lower staff house of Camp Rim Rock for girls, West Virginia. I just got my hair braided, ("by my really really cool American friend" says my really really cool American friend)we're watching a chick flick and I have a growing number of friendship bracelets accumulating on my wrist (Amy totally made one with my name on it and it ties in awesomeness with the one next to it [the two lovely ladies who made them for me are sitting either side of me and watching me write this]) did I mention that this is an all girls camp?
It's pretty amazing and the campers are coming sunday!!

It's late though and I have to get up early for morning barn so i'll keep this short and sweet.

Until later.
