Campus

Good Morning from Australia!
We had a great Halloween with some pretty hilarious costumes. I will be getting these photos up probably by the end of this week after I gather them all. I had a few requests for some pictures of our places and campus. Pictures do not do Bond's justice, but I did the best thatI could to capture some of the prettiest views starting with my house.



Here is my Villa at Varsity Shores 


      
       The right sliding door is my room!





                     This is the Varisity Shores entrance.

In Surfers Paradise there is a Pet Store called Wildside Dogz. They ask for people to babysit the puppies overnight so they don't have to sleep in the store. (And it's FREE!) Tyler and I babysat little Carlos. He was a mix between a lab and a shepard. SO adorable!






She was a cute little baby!




I'll be gathering the Halloween pictures from friends and posting them soon! XOXO

MOJO Surf Camp @ Spot-X




Wow, what another amazing weekend! We had three surf lessons, campfires, good food, and lots of laughs.


The only thing that wasn't so funny when Ty and Mike were surfing and I was on the beach with the girls, and we saw Ty sharing a wave with a shark! he didn't even notice, but everyone got out of the water and the instructors even saw and made the shark hand gesture. Thank goodness no one was hurt, but it was pretty freaky. It was only about six feet long and not vicious. It certainly caught us of guard.


























This was the entrance of the beach from Spot-X.


Gorgeous!

The Camera lady LOVED our Group. Some of these pictures will be on her Spot-X Promo website, and even the flyers that get sent to Bond Uni. Try to guess which ones she's thinking of ;)...Here was our groups first attempt of this pose.




Complete Fail.



We did it!

 We all got to get up on the boards, see beautiful beaches, and bond with our new friends. Our time here is half way through and we can't believe it. We are having the time of our lives!!!

Love xo
