Chapter 3— AUSTRALIA

Australia has always been known as a warm Continent, it is beautiful, sometimes wet, sometimes dry. I do love the Sunny days, I would take the time to stroll round the hills and through the wet grasses. I usually did this on special mornings, sometimes when I got a new dress or a new idea.

In this continent we are about 25,000,000 inhabitants. It was always so intriguing for me whenever I thought about the other people I hadn't met. I heard about Sydney, the largest city in Australia.

I often bought books about the city, I could always see pictures of its beauty. From the lights, the long busy roads, the tall buildings, its advanced use of technology, to the beautiful rivers and boats. I dreamed of moving to Sydney someday and maybe own a wonderful boutique with people streaming in and out of my boutique.

Yes, I was 19 but I was a dreamer girl, my eyes were filled with so much colours and wonders. Sometimes I couldn't sleep because I had a million dreams to see.

David always did listen to my ever flowing ideas about dresses and styles, I didn't want to make dresses but I wanted to be in them and sell them to beautiful people. I wanted David and Stella to be there with me in Sydney, we could all shine bright! I never expected how my dreams would be drowned in an ever flowing river of tears.

All I could think about was Sydney city, I thought to myself that the very moment I get there, I'd take a walk through many places as far as I could go, maybe even see the whole city! I would have a house of mine and in the living room, on the wall, there'd be a beautiful, broad picture of my Mother Angela with her glowing smile, to make my home feel blessed as though she was there with me. Wonderful!
