Yesterday I played frisbee for almost three hours and almost died because I am so out of shape and it is SUPER humid here, but I had the best time! I really miss frisbee and running hard. I sweat so much because I piled on the sunscreen before I went out. gross, but I didn't burn! (mum, you would be so proud of me! I have only gotten one tiny burn on my shoulder and no others since I have been in Australia! Talk about slip, slop, slap!)

This morning my roommates and I walked to the train station and left on the 8:44am train towards Sydney with a few other people. We got there and walked across the harbour bridge and went to eat at this nice italian place in "the rocks." After that we walked to the powerhouse museum and checked out the lord of the rings display. It was really awesome and we saw a bunch of costumes and movies about the making of the films. After that we walked to a park and sat for a while (we walked a lot, so it was nice to relax for a little while). Later we went to a food court and got the worst thai food I have ever had in my life. I felt sick to my stomach while eating it, but I finished most of it anyway because I was so hungry! After dinner we got on the train home and came back to wollongong. It was nice to get to the city and to walk around for a day.

Here are a few pictures!
