Weekend Wonders!!

I thought I'd get off a quick post before I head to Bali in 11 hours!! HOORAY! I'm not really sure what the internet situation will be there - I'm spending a few days on the coast and a few in the jungle in a bungalow so we'll see!

This weekend was more fun with friends! I love being comfortable here and having people who call you up and inside jokes and all - it's a cool feeling!

Nathan and I went to Bondi Beaches sculptures by the sea on Friday - it was so neat! There were over 100 sculptures all along the ocean pathways. Nathan is one of those guys that says hello and starts conversations with EVERYONE so we ended up chatting with a couple who live in Cali for awhile and a couple girls from Chile - I love all the people you randomly meet when traveling!

We stopped by some of one his mate's flats on the way back, he is stockbroker and lets say the situation isn't any better here -it's amazing what a domino affect the US economy has on the whole world.

Saturday Nate and I started the day with a paddle on his doubles kayak! It was great, besdes the part where I got knocked over by a wave in two-foot of water while I was holding the kayak and Nate had to rescue me because I was trapped under it, yeah I looked like an amateaur! But it we went by a nude beach which was hilarious (way too many old, overweight men) and then went by the south headpoint where the ocean meets the harbour. Then I rode the Manly ferry over to met Adam - the harbour was filled with sailboats, it was beautiful! It was a gorgeous day and we went to the top of Oz tower (it's the same height as the eiffel tower!) Saturday night we did a little pub crawl in The Rocks followed by meeting Ed for some karaoke! (I guess karaoke is becoming a weekly tradition - I'm of course very okay with this :)

Today I worked at the cafe! It is a fun, family-run place that is super cozy - everyone knows everyone and srikes up chats openingly - Australians are giving Minnesota a run for its money on the whole Minnesota nice thing :)
