I had a lovely evening last night. Venus, Mars and some other planet whose name I could work out in Spanish were aligned or visible or something. So my host family and I spent about 45 minutes laying down in the backyard star gazing. It was beauitful. The weather was pleasantly cool, which is rare in this climate. It was nice to look at a whole knew sky, though occasionally I tried to look for the Southern cross, hoping it would appear. I learnt some new vocab listening to my host family chat and when I didn't I rembered this song. It is a favourite in Australia, and felt very fitting.
Lord of all creation
Of water earth and sky
The heavens are your tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high
God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
And when I stumble in the darkness
I will call your name by night
