Here’s a little more of Australia in 2004. Something I tried to do every day. We’d be tired and cold, and just want one more hour to sleep, but the birds would start singing loudly just before dawn. Some of the people around me put their pillows over their heads and went back to sleep. […]

As the performing arts troupe prepared to leave for the evening, they explained that they wanted to sing a final song in honor of our hosts. To “sing for their supper” as Mark puts it. As if they hadn’t earned it already! It just so happens they chose my favorite song, and you’ll hear […]
