All have arrived safely into Texas, unfortunately Mun's luggage managed to stay in Australia... right now we are just training with the RACE club and the hospitality here is amazing, they have been supplying us with food throughout the meet and have been extremely generous.
Today we went to Walmart which sells everything from Pop Tarts to Shotguns (child, pink for girls, blue for boys, youth and adult sizes... no really)
we are all having a really good time making friends along the way especially Tom who has been officially voted the most popular Australian in Texas ;) (voted on by the 11 and 12 year old girl delegation of Texas)
