Fall is here







Another thing we don't get to experience in sunny Australia is the definition of seasons. So experiencing fall for the first time was magical. Each street is covered with fallen, coloured leaves and the sound of them crunching under my feet brings a smile to my face every time.

Halloween







In Australia, we don't really celebrate Halloween. While there are a few dress up parties, houses aren't decorated nearly as fancily, nor the lines at halloween costume stores nearly as long (are there even stores?!). We went to two halloween parties on Saturday. The first one at the Mile End Bike Garage. Everyone and I mean everyone was dressed up. It was so much fun. I went as Janelle Monae, B as a werewolf, although everyone thought he was Beetlejuice. P as a somewhat Dolly Parton and L as Kenny Powers from East Bound and Down
