alice...

Wow.cant believe im here. Sitting in the afternnoon sun. The landscape is red and green (a kind of musty, teal green mind you) and long. In a backyard who's backdrop is a massive stoney ridge-better known as 'the gap'. In the streets of Alice (to quote Be) we have big dogs (short fences) and homemade potato schnapps-not American guns!
Its a funny feeling being back in a town again. We've rested for 2 days and ventured out not much!! Aiming to get all our admin done today (hence all the blogs up at once!) so we can begin to explore the ranges and the land outside of town. My craving for flavoured milk has subsided since being still and out of the elements. Ive had 2 grumpy sessions. It's such a rollercoaster. Not only physical, but mental and emotional too. Be is incredible and im so grateful i can be so honest with her. none of its taken personal-its all just part of the ride. being amongst internet, phone, houses brings something back that i love being away from. the last little while weve been cooking on fires-not bothering with cookers. and you feel somewhat confined ina town where it seems all you can do is spend money (even if you have none?!! how?!!) i also start to miss people in town setting-who apart from Be know me real well. I guess its that relaxation silence you can have with friends. but we are being so spoilt. the people we've met and have been looking after us-too incredible to ruin with words. just under halfway...incredible. i close my eyes and feel the warmth of the sun being soaked up by my skin..delicious. the wind blows my hair.have to keep reminding myself that this is all real. remember it and experience it for what it is: indescribable.
