Just another day at the beach.

Sorry, it has been heaps of time since my last post. Good news: I haven't been bitten/attacked my anything poisonous (knock on wood), and I am still alive and kicking! Bad news: For all you Finding Nemo fans out there...It is unfortunate, but 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney does not exist.

Classes have started up. It has taken a little getting used to. The weather is still absolutely amazing, and I feel like I am on vacation, so focusing has taken a little getting used to. I am taking a Consumer Behavior class, Marketing Research, International Business, and Introduction to Cinema. All of them seem pretty interesting. The first week of classes didn't even seem like the first week, since the tutorials, just the lectures were scheduled. Therefore, I spent a majority of the week exploring a small sampling of the beaches around here.

Manly Beach is where all the volleyball is at, not to mention the waters are pristine. I have been there twice, and I highly recommend taking the fairy ride from Circular Quay to Manly Wharf. I have taken some killer shots of the harbor. There is a cute little beach town that you have to walk through to get to the beach, with delicious ice cream! Guaranteed you will leave there with a smile on your face and a small desert in your suit.

Coogee Beach hast to be one of my favorites. It's a quaint little beach, surrounded by towering cliffs. The waves crash further in shore, so if you swim out far enough you can just float, weightless for hours. These pictures from this beach were phenomenal (check them out on Facebook). There is a small ocean side pool, and I hiked along the cliff base for a good while. Kelli, you were right, its beautiful!

Coming up: Tonight we are going into the city to experience Mardi Gras! Should be quite the experience!

G'Day Mates!
