First 24 hours in Adelaide

I just landed yesterday in Adelaide after the longest, never ending plane journey I ever hope to take! First I flew from Tampa to LA. Then I got on another plane to New Zealand. Then I changed planes again and flew to Sydney, Australia and then I had to wait for hours before my last flight all the way across Australia to Adelaide which is in the south of Australia. The flight from Sydney to Adelaide just goes over this endless, empty red desert. It really looks like another planet and it made me realize for the first time that I am in a totally different country now. I keep asking myself what am I doing here?! Of course, I am completely exhausted. I don’t really know whether to eat or sleep or just wander the streets looking for monkey man. I have to watch myself very closely right now because they drive on the left side of the road here am so jet lagged that I am like a zombie. Just an hour ago, I wandered right into traffic and was nearly hit by a car, though I think my guardian angel saved me just in time! I just opened up my email and I can’t believe there are like a million messages there. I don’t even know where to start. If I take a while to get back to you guys, forgive me! You know why and you can always check in on me here. Today, I’m planning to explore the city a bit. Adelaide seems like a really nice, clean little place though totally unremarkable so far. The people I have met so far are really friendly and nice and I love their accents. It is so cool but funny. I was asking the guy at the hotel for a pen but he couldn’t figure out what I wanted. It’s pronounced “pin” in Australian! I noticed that some of you guys have found this Bed and Breakfast that seems to be connected to some weird miracles. I’m going to go and check it out. Thank you for looking out for me. I’m still not sure what will come from the visit, but I’m going to press on and see what comes of it. Monkey Man, where are you?!
