This place is soooo much better than Kalgoorlie. We drove through the outback to get here and we went from desert to country to beach all in the matter of about 4 hours. We even went through a couple of towns on the way here and like one Australian said 'you blink and you miss it'. He was exactly right. One 'town' had a population of 190 people. Literally. It took all of 7 seconds to get from one side of town to the other. Crazy to think you would know every person in your town and every person would know you...guess you couldn't get into trouble. But anyway Esperance is really nice. It is right along the southern coast and it is much more civilized than Kalgoorlie. It has more streets than the one main road Kalgoorlie had. This is actually a town! The ocean is a beautiful teal color and the sand is snow white. They even had a permanent resident here...Sammy the sea lion.
He lives on the beach next to the pier. Saw him today. Thought he was dead at first seeing he didn't move for a while. But he is alive and well. He's cute, rather large but cute. Anywho, the tournament starts tomorrow. I'm hoping to do well. But this tournament is stacked. The cutoff for the main draw is like 250. So we shall see how this one turns out...
