BLUE MOUNTAINS

 Christopher McCandless: No, man. Alaska, Alaska. I'm gonna be all the way out there, all the way fucking out there. Just on my own. You know, no fucking watch, no map, no axe, no nothing. No nothing. Just be out there. Just be out there in it. You know, big mountains, rivers, sky, game. Just be out there in it, you know? In the wild.
Wayne Westerberg: In the wild.
Christopher McCandless: Just wild!
Wayne Westerberg: Yeah. What are you doing when we're there? Now you're in the wild, what are we doing?
Christopher McCandless: You're just living, man. You're just there, in that moment, in that special place and time.

I know it has been forever since I blogged but it is exam time and I've been writing papers for seemingly eternity! Here are a bunch of pictures for the absolutely gorgeous Blue Mountains in Katoomba, Australia. Once again another parallel to Boone, North Carolina. The blue mountains and the adorable mountain town made me miss home!

The Three Sisters Peak, Echo Point

 Being able to hike an amazing trail in these beautiful mountains on the other side of the world has been one of my favorite things I have done here. I am going to be SO SAD TO LEAVE, but I do...
