Back to Perth - Night 145

It pained me a bit to leave Fremantle today. It is my favorite city so far in all of Australia, and probably New Zealand as well. Freo simply has the right feel to it, for me at least. I did a bit of shopping in the morning, walked out to the lighthouse and back to Bather’s beach once again. The train ride back to Sue’s house was more interesting than one would expect. The Midland train was packed with hard core rock fans headed out to a concert, this being Australia’s Labor Day. Honestly, I think I was the only person on the train without a visible tattoo and a band t-shirt on. That is about the extent of my day.

The afternoon was all life maintenance; booking my Fiji adventures, doing laundry, catching up on this journal and repacking for my late night flight to Brisbane.
I want to take this opportunity to extend my dearest thanks to Sue, Den and family for their overwhelming hospitality over the past week. I felt welcomed into their home and I am very grateful for it. If/when they ever come to the States I hope that my family can show them the same sort of hospitality.

What I Learned Today: That the George Carlin theory of personal health (more germs = better immune system = better health) has actually been vindicated by medical research.
Though it doesn’t appear to have helped me at the moment.
