First off, happy holidays!!! Can you believe we’re about to celebrate another Christmas and New Year’s season?! Where has the time gone…?

I’m happy to say that Christmas so far has been a hot and sunny affair for me. I arrived in Newcastle, Australia last week (near Syndey) and have already done a TON of really cool things. I don’t have too much to share in the way of vegan eats and treats, since I’ve mostly been eating out (Thai, salads etc.), except that the fruit here is INCREDIBLE! As an Alaskan who endures the lame fruit selection all winter long, I have been pleasantly gorging myself on fresh mangoes, apricots, pineapple, avocadoes, tomatoes and more. This is the life!

I have a million more photos to upload, but the connection here is so slow that I’m putting it off until later. So, for now, I hope you and yours have a very merry Christmas!
