Manly Beach

So after many futile attempts we finally got the weather and the time to have a day at the beach. We decided to go to Manly Beach which is about a 30 min ferry ride from Circular Quay. It was soo worth it!! The weather was perfect and the beach was amazing!! The beach was much more like a Naples beach than an Australia beach but it was much much prettier, the water was crystal clear and the sand was so soft. And NO NAKED WOMEN, which was a plus of course. Also its just a fun place to walk around. There are lots of goofy souvenir shops where you can buy useless Australia stuff. Megan and I also found the most interesting and intriguing souvenir, it was a bottle opener made out of a kangaroos scrotum, and no it wasnt fake haha. I know robin and mom will appreciate that. Anyway, megan and i got dressed up for dinner that night and went out. We had a wonderful dinner and then hung out talking the rest of the night. I miss you all. Keep posted. 

Sorry it took so long!

I do apologize for my lack of posts, to be totally honest its been rather dull here. Im pretty much finally settled in here and in the swing of things, that involves classes, studying, lots of beach days, and occasional touristy attractions. Our next adventure will probably be a trip to Manly Beach, our last attempt was thwarted due to ferries only arriving every hour and it being a half hour trip by ferry or a two hour trip by bus. Meg hasn't been feeling well so we are just laying low. We still make dinner every night and frankly its better than anything you can find in the city and 10 times cheaper. Food is so expensive here! Hamburger in the U.S. $5 tops, hamburger here, you are looking at paying $12 if you are lucky and that is without a $5 drink. Anyway, i do promise to keep you updated more, but i didnt want to bore you with the humdrum of everyday life here. Keep looking for new posts!! Love and miss you all!!
