Beginning of Spring in Sydney!

Hi everyone! Today we had an unexpected downpour. We started the morning out in skirts and tanktops, headed to Mickey D's for breakfast, and it was pouring by the time we left! Luckily the hostel was close so we ran back and got our matching raincoats :) (Thanks Bro!) We are going to look at a one-bedroom studio apartment at 11 in Newtown, so we are keeping our fingers crossed that we like it and it works out! Last night was our first official "night out" and we had a lot of fun! We also made our first friends--YAY! Their names are Batman, Brazil, Holland, Ireland, Denmark, London, Joe, and Kevin and Benni (our bunkmates.) 

Ash and Ireland dueling it out playing oldschool Street Fighters!!  Ireland won :(
Our first girl friend, Toni!! She is from Mercer Island and is living with her Aunt and Uncle in Manly Beach. (Jaclyn knew Toni and introduced us via facebook--thanks Jac!) :) This is in Darling Harbor.
So we didn't really order 2 giant beers each, but the girl at the bar was just really nice and gave us each an extra--no joke!! Everyone here is so friendly!!
Double-click on this and read the first paragraph--pretty funny! All of their newspapers here are about America and our economy/politics.

Mmmmmm Starbucks :)

Outside Paddy Maguires, an Irish Pub we went to that Holly had actually gone to before with Broderick when they were here!! (...remember this B?!)
Holly lounging in our luxurious hostel!! I sleep above her--the bunks squeak like no other. Everytime I roll over I fear the bunk will collapse and crush Holly!
We forgot to post this one the other day...we were looking at these weird looking "birds" in the park, and when we got closer realized it was hundreds of BATS!! We found out they are friendly fruit bats, aka "flying foxes." We like them :)


Funny little video...running back from McDonalds breakfast attempting to take a picture, not realizing it was on record...Laughing hysterically in the rain :)
