It's been a long time since I've updated. Too long to be able to
even tell you the stories of all that I've done so I'll just list the highlights of things I've accomplished in the last month:1. Went to the outback (the Back O'Bourke)
2. Been in the Opera House (for the Aboriginal Film Festival)
3. Fished for yabbies and ate them
4. Seen heaps of kangaroos
5. Eaten kangaroo (not in the outback... I ate a big kangaroo burger today after surfing at Manly Beach, it was good!)
6. Learned to surf
7. Been to an AFL game at Sydney Olympic Park (Australian Football League is way better than American football and the Sydney Swans won!!! It was a good game)
8. Waded through the famous Hyde Park fountain
9. Swam in mud
10. Trained with host brother's soccer team
11. Had a Tim Tam slam
12. Ran in a race (it was my very first race and I ran 8k in 37:52 and placed 5th)
13. Went to the Blue Mountains
14. Explored more of the Botanical Gardens
15. Milked a cow
16. Learned how to play rugby from aboriginal kids (I think they made up the rules as they went)
I'm sure I've left off important things but oh well. I've been doing too many things and exploring so many different places. There's a month before I head back towards the states and still so much I want to see and do. It'll get done.
