Camping

I got to go camping a couple days ago and it was so much fun! Making up for my absence at the latest family camping trip.

Camping here is a little different than at home. You pay per person for the campsite, not per campsite, and there are lots of activities that you can pay to do such as horseback riding and four wheel driving. There were no hiking trails either...they told us that we could follow the horse trail on foot but that was it. I definitely like camping back at home better.

We went with Dave and his brother and his friend. They had never had smores before so I introduced them, although they were not the same because they don't have graham crackers here and their marshmallows are weird. 

I have been enjoying my few days of relaxation before I have to start studying for finals. I went into the city today by myself to walk around and get a couple souvenirs. There I walked to the wharf where I knew the Sydney Dance Company was...hoping I could watch a class from the window or something. I think all the studios are inside the building because I didn't see any, but I got a chance to walk around the wharf. It was beautiful! I decided that if I ever were to move to Sydney I would live on the wharf. The water was sparkling and I could see the whole city! I walked around for a while just listening to the water and looking at all the boats.

13 more days!! Get ready!

Today we went to the Blue Mountains. It was beautiful! I loved it. It was super cold though!

We saw a couple of waterfalls and went on some walks and some skyrails. It would have been nice if we hiked a little more...but it was gorgeous! Our driver gave me some cool aboriginal face paint. And we got to see some dingos, wallabes, kangaroos, emus, wombats, and we even got to pet koalas! It was super fun.

We have our GSE fairwell dinner tomorrow night and then its finals! I miss you all! Can't wait until I come home in 18 days!
