RANCH!!

Sorry I didn't write yesterday, I was so tired when we got back that I went straight to bed. Yesterday was a VERY long day. We went to the Olympic Stadium which was really cool and big and we saw THE ENTIRE THING because we toured it before we saw the rugby game. We got there at 4 and the game wasn't til 7:30 and then it got pushed back til 8. OMG, it was the longest tour of my life. The tour guide was so funny. He had huge buck teeth, I know its mean, but it was funny and he talked THE ENTIRE TIME. He stopped us like every 50 feet to tell us something. He even told us about the rubbish (trash) and how much they get and all that stuff. It was crazy. But me and Allison and Tae were just making fun of him the whole time. We had a bunch of lectures before that at some sports institutes. It was interesting, but it was kind of redundant of the day before. We have a free weekend though. I'm excited. At lunch we went to Subway and I got a chicken bacon ranch and they had ranch. YEEEEAAAHHHHH! Craig said that was the first time he had ever seen ranch in Australia. It was like a taste of home. Also, whenever you order water here. There is NO ice and it comes in the smallest cups, and they do not refill them, so its a good thing they don't tip here. When I get home I am having a JAR full of ICE COLD water, but I will give them props on there water. It is WAY good. Today we have a free morning and a group of us are heading to Paddy's which is a souvenior shop, so if you want something comment on my blog. LOL!!! ...but no really. Then we are going to a footie game, or Australin Rules football. It is way different than in the U.S. and I'm excited to see it. Yesterday the rugby game was Rugby League which is different than rugby union that we play in the U.S. it isn't as fun to watch, but it was good. The game is so fast though. It was like an hour long. The tour was longer than the actual game. I missed half of it to eat and get souveniours. Well I'm out of time, I will post tonight and I'm probably going to post pictures because we have free time. Miss ya lots!!!!

  3. Isn't it funny how Chris and Rannie soak up other people's adventures? I have a mental image of them checking your blog every five minutes to see if you've written.
    And I want a cool shirt.

  5. I'm not there, so I don't really know what souvenirs are available. You know me well enough. I'll love whatever you bring me.

    And yes, Sam, we have lived vicariously through you two this summer. And I don't check every 5 minutes. I have a subscription on my Google Reader. So, there!
