Thanks, Australia! Pretty sure they do this so Americans don't get run over ;)

I was a little too excited about this wild pineapple tree :D

FINALLY we found some decent ranch dressing @ Pigs & Pints, Burleigh beach

Sunday nights at Burleigh Beach have fire twirlers, bongo drums, dancing, & community. It was pretty cool. / October 4

We said a prayer with some strangers for those in the world suffering from domestic violence. Cool moment that we just happened to be in the right spot for!

a few videos of the fire twirlers. Some were professional & some were just kids testing their skills!

Exploring Burleigh at Night :)

"We are all connected via the Sea."

 The world is my oyster. :D
