Well, since I could only book one night in Adelaide for the moment, I decided to spend a couple days in the Barossa Valley.  If anyone is a big wine drinker you may have heard of it.  Its a pretty big name in the wine business I guess.
I did some wine tastings at a few different wineries, bought a bottle too.  The whole region was really pretty, with tons of fields of vines.
I was staying in a room above a pub, and the second night I was there I met a couple guys who I can best describe as an Australian version of Wayne and Garth from Waynes World named Anthony and Russell.  Turned out they were heading into Adelaide the next day and offered me a lift.  I wasnt really sure the next morning if they'd been serious or not, but luckily they pulled up just when they said they would.  They had a megaphone attached to their car, so that they could make random noises at people as we were driving.  Before we got on the road, we had to make a quick stop to drop off some poisonous spiders that they capture for money.  Crazy!

Wine Tasting, I'm jealous!
Sounds like a great time (except the poisonous spider thing). The pictures are great. We miss you tons but are glad you're having such a great time. Take care.

Love,
Mary and Gregg

What's up Cuzzo!
Aaron, it has been a while...I have been slacking checkin up on you. I apologize. I read through some other entries and it sounds like things are going well. Christmas is two days away. Hopefully you have something planned for it. I am sure you will have plenty of stories when you get back and I am looking forward to them. Keep those pics coming. I will talk to you soon.

Watch out for those crocs!

Ben
