Uluru

On our Independence Day, I began the day early with several Fulbrighters to head out to Uluru to experience the sunrise. Mary Ellen and I ran around Uluru (about five miles), but overshot our rendezvous point, so we had to run back about a mile extra to meet up with our group for breakfast! Needless to say, I was exhausted, but Mary Ellen who does marathons, was fine. The other Fulbrighters that went walked around to experience the beautiful sunrise. Shortly thereafter we began a more in-depth tour of Uluru and some of the famous spots around this famous site. The picture I show below is of an old, dead tree in front of Uluru.
