COLD!!

Freezing!!!!!! and i've a blocked nose..loL!

Been busy bringing my parents around..
the past few days have been going shopping and i actually can find clothes that are my size!! yes!! lol...

We went to barossa Valley yesterday and i just realised that it had not only 1 vineyard but many many!! but it was kinda sad coz its winter and the vines were all botak!! haha...
In the 1800s, land and soil surveyors were called in by the english settlers to survey what can be done on the adelaide land. The result was that given the dry weather conditions and the state of the soil. IT was good for growing vines and making wine. So the settlers brought in vine shoots from original wine making countries like South africa and france to plant! and the wine industry boomed since then. The winery that i went to bottled about 1 million bottles a day, to be shipped out to about 70 countries..
I tasted a few kinds of wine , stayed sober and bought a nice wine glass!

Most of the trip was spent in the coach going through the beautiful Adelaide hills.
I can't help but see God's hand in all of it! Praise him!
Went past some herds of cows and sheeps and kangaroos. the bus driver purposely honked the horn to make them run! it was hilarious!!

NExt we went to a small german village called Hahndorf..Did u know that in the 1800s the german lutherans were persecuted for their faith and quite a number of them escaped to adelaide and now their descendants are living in that village! there are lutheran churches everywhere! so cooL!

it was also the first time i ate kangaroo meat...............in my opinion it tasted better then beef, but mum and dad thought otherwise..loL!

Got 1 more week before sch starts..and mum and dad are leaving on saturday..boohoo...........
then it will be back to learning and stressing...loL!
its gonna be tough but I WILL to praise God in every circumstance!!

peace out?? no way ahhahahh!

Peace be with you:)
