paradise

I have only been here a couple days and I already want to move here.

Yesterday, the first full day, we spent in Sydney. We had lunch (BBQ'd octopus) overlooking the harbor, saw the Opera House, the bridge, had a beer at a pub, all the touristy things. This morning we drove to Wollongong (no joke!) to see where my sister has been studying abroad for the past 10 months. It is seriously paradise! We played a game of cricket with some aussies in the park, went bodysurfing, played some ultimate on the beach, went surfing with my sister's quasi-boyfriend, and we are just now getting ready for a BBQ and poker night at a house called the "fight club" before we go out on the town. (I assume the house is named after the house in the movie) I can't wait. I swear it is going to take all my self control to keep from yelling, "ahh, put another shrimp on the barbie!!!"

Anyway, I'm here, safe, and having a blast. I'm still trying to convince my mum to let me go skydiving or bungee jumping in New Zealand. We'll see how THAT goes.

From down under, cheers and g'day mate!
