Romatown!

As some of you may know, I have had a boyfriend named Myles since I've been abroad. Myles is sweet, hilarious, laid back, blunt, and he studies engineering. A couple weekends ago we went to his hometown Roma to visit and stay with his parents. It was a lot of fun to meet his parents and they were so incredibly kind to me. I even learned how to draw an Emu chalk picture with his mom! He is also part Aboriginal, and so I got to talk to his grandparents, see their artifacts, and listen to some of their stories. It was a fantastic experience, so much fun, and a good first hand look at Aussie life :)
