I'm Back Again!

This time, I'm back from Australia. I performed in the Chapman Wind Symphony at the Sydney Opera House, and then flew up to Cairns and snorkeled at the Great Barrier Reef and then visited a tropical rainforest. It was a 7-day nonstop trip and very tiring. My roommate from China, Nick Miller, was in Sydney and he actually saw me perform at the Opera House, but I didn't get to see him, which I'm very disappointed about. There were a few other disappointments along the way, too. Sadly, my usual luckiness was mostly missing on this trip, but I guess that's the nature of luck--sometimes you have it and sometimes you don't. Anyway, I'll put up some pictures later.

This added to my travels, with about 19,000 miles covered. So far this year I have been on 18 airline flights, countless buses, two long-distance trains, and several boats.
