This is a really funny book about Australia, written from the perspective of an American. I just finished reading it, and I enjoyed it so much that along the way I reread most chapters aloud to Dylan. I highly recommend it.
Bill Bryson has authored many quasi-travel books. I enjoyed "down under" so much that I quickly read a second Bryson book, and have now started a third. Even if you are not interested in learning about Australia, I recommend reading one of his books on another region (i.e., Britain, USA, etc.), because Bryson is really witty and his books are hilarious.

Hi Dylan & Kristen,
Just read through some of your interesting blogs and viewed your nice pictures. Sounds like your having fun although the snakes and flies would probably freak me out some.
Weather in Salem has been between 30 and 45 degrees fahrenheit which might be better than the heat wave your getting some days.
I still haven't been able to get out to hit with Neil yet but hopefully soon. I'm only hitting about once a week but my brother Geary is starting to hit a little so maybe twice a week is a possibility.
Keep up the great blogs and I'll chat with you later.
