So Las Fallas was great and I didnt have to sleep on the beach or in a park with friends in the end. I got really really lucky and got a bed in the hostel we stayed at the last time we were there. It was alot of fun and amazing to see the burning of the fallas. They were SO hot. We crowded around a fallas at 11 when they burnt all the large fallas (the smaller ones for the kids were burnt at 10). They wound an extremely long fuse around the fallas, sprayed it with flamable liquid from water bottles, removed the crowd barriers and torched the thing.
I Really liked the Fallas. Many if not most depicted topless women and would not be considered ´decent´ in Australia or the USA. There were also many figures which were were not your typical model type seen in magazines. The same is seen all across Europe with Art and especially statues and fountains in public places. It is nice to be open about it and recognise that everyone has the same body and that its not something to be ashamed of or hidden.
Here is the life of Cara who completed her first world tour (2005/2006)!! She then returned to Australia to graduate, wave hello to family friends, travel down under and then set fourth on another adventure! At it again, globe trotting and couch surfing across the USA, Canada and even a quick Europe stint in the name of love (Austria, Croatia, France) in 2007. Currently, in California with family pondering the future! Interstant eh?

Hello my mimi,
Have tried to call you several times but can't get through. The Commonwealth Games are on here and everyone must be trying to phone home!The outgoing lines seem to be busy.
Glad to hear you had a good time.
Glad to hear you had a nice/safe place to sleep.
Any photos ???????
Miss you heaps!
Come home......
Your mum
ha! burning stuff! sounds like Australia to me! Although you don't often see burning women's torsos!!!
Australians are going bananas at the Commonwealth Games, setting all sorts of records and generally sticking it up the poms! (remind them of this when you go back to England!)
Say gday to your dad for me!
Come h.... no wait Jan has already said that
love
Dave
Hey beautiful girl,
Okay.... it's official!!! like official, official!!!!!!!!!!
I have booked my round the world trip!!! So excited!!!! It's happening!!! Really happening!!
Okay, I'm done. But I am really excited. I leave Melbourne to fly to LA on the 31st of May, Spend 2 days in LA for orientation, fly to Newark and head to camp to work as a Stage Manager (that's right Claire bear's a specialist counsellor!), leave the camp late August, hang out in New York and Boston for 9 days and then take a trek on the Northern Trail and see places like Niagra Falls, Chicago (blues bars here i come), Yosemite, San Fran and heaps of stuff in the middle for 3 weeks. then playing in Hollywood and Las Vegas until mid October, then flying to London to chill out with family for a week and then off through Europe for the greatest adventure ever and finally back to England for Christmas and New Years before flying home!!
Wow, it's seems like a lot to cram it to 6 mnths when I write it down like that. Am I going to see you before I go?? The idea of not seeing you in almost 2 years is not a pleasant one.
I miss you like crazy anbd if I'm honest with myself (which we both know that i never am), I'm kinda nervous. Any advice or tips that you could give me would be most appreciated.
Love you
claire Bear
