ONE WEEK IN

   So I am about 10 days in for working and about to be two weeks in australia friday. Getting around better. I did have a run in with the police last thursday night. I was headed back to the clinic to check on a baby foal when I stalled out the manual at an intersection in town. I then had trouble pulling away a little jerky. As soon as I got a little ways down the road I see flashing blue lights in my rearview  mirror. I thought great now if I can only pull over this UTE (slang for truck) without stalling in front of police. The officer arrives at the drivers door breathalyzer in hand. Thought he had an easy one. I inform him I am just a dumb american trying to drive a manual and keeping on the left side of the road. I show him my official queensland drivers license. Oh yeah the one I just got that afternoon. No worries I'm sure he got a good laugh. I will post pictures of my journeys soon I promise.
