Yesterday was HOTTTT!!!! And I mean that literally: it was about 100 degrees outside (and we still don't have AC in our apartment). Unlike Maryland, Australia has low humidity, so the air is just heavy- it feels like you're in a convection oven. We spent the whole day on wine tours, traveling to the different vineyards on the outskirts of Sydney (about two hours out). Our second wine tasting was hosted by this really awesome guy, Matt, an Aussie EE (I'm not gonna gush here, but OH. MY. GOD.) ;) We were also provided lunch at this family-style thai/Asian place that wasn't half bad. Go Australia!
Today we did SO MUCH in such a short amount of time. We woke up at 3 freaking 30 to go to Bondi Beach and watch the sunrise over the cliffs. Then, we went surfing at 6:30 AM for two hours...the sea was so rough for the first hour; I got smashed around a lot and was so tired. However, for the second hour it was a lot calmer- we went out to deep water where they had a triathalon going on, and cheered on all the swimmers. Greg and I broke off from the group and came back to the apts to watch THE RAVENS GAME OMG!!!!! It was so exciting and we were jumping around and screaming like banshees in the apartment. Even though I had woken up so early I was so pumped after that and couldn't sit still. The rest of the afternoon was spent working on our final papers and other assignments, before going to a Japanese restaurant for dinner and the mall for dessert. Tonight we have an outdoor movie in Circular Quay, which would be great except that it's freaking raining outside, so we'll see. I'll put pics up soon!!!
