Beerwah, Australia. Not too many people have heard of the town, but it was a place I just had to visit. Beerwah is the home of Steve Erwin, the Crocodile Hunter, and of the zoo that he has drawn so many people to. As many of you know, he was my role model, and I believe that everyone could learn a few things from him. His passion was inspiring, and his enthusiasm couldn't be matched. Now I know not all of you are inspired to go and catch things that would like nothing more than to kill you, as boring as that sounds, but the way he lived his life can be applied to anything that you do. Too bad there wasn't more people around like him. Anyways, they day was bittersweet. Seeing the deadliest snakes in the world along with huge saltwater crocodiles was a humbling experience. It was also amazing to see the result from what one person can do. The amount of people who care about wildlife because of him is astounding, and that is something I need to remember when I am out in the Vanuatu bush. One person can make a difference. So I'm headed back to Vanuatu tomorrow, back to the real world, which is completely opposite of the real world in your head. I've been medically cleared by the Peace Corps, they've found nothing wrong with me, but thank you everyone for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I'll do my best to keep posts and pictures coming in Tanna, but that will not be a very easy thing to do. It's a shame though, because I think things will start to get very interesting there.
