Sydney

Sydney was awesome! I had so much fun! I didn't even get to do everything I wanted to, there is so much to do in that city! Friday was my friends 21st birthday, so we went out and celebrated Friday night, although we had a hard time finding places open because it was Good Friday.
I am now an accomplished surfer. I took a two hour surf lesson at Bondi Beach on Saturday, which was beautiful, and I stood up on a couple waves! It was really cool. We took a tour of the Blue Mountains on Sunday-not a bad way to spend Easter if I can't be at Legal Seafood with everyone. They are the Blue Mountains because the eucalyptus trees have an oil in them that makes them appear blue from far away. I bet you thought I wouldn't know that. On Monday we wandered around the city and got caught in the rain, I was soaked! Overall it was a great weekend, but I didn't get nearly enough sleep! We flew home Tuesday morning at 7 and I slept all afternoon. I think I got more sleep Tuesday afternoon than I did any night while I was in Sydney, but it was worth it! I've been catching up on work and stuff this week, I finished one paper and started another that are due in two weeks. I haven't uploaded my pictures yet, I've been crazy busy and trying to catch up on sleep which isn't working! This next week is "Autumn break" but I keep calling it spring break. So I'm off tomorrow morning to Cape Tribulation which is north of Cairns, and I'll be there until Wednesday night. Then I'm here trying to do work for two days and Friday afternoon I'm off to Melbourne to do a tour of Great Ocean Road. Pretty Exciting!! I'll update with pictures as soon as I can!
