In Sydney!

OK, just to keep you all updated... We arrived safe and sound in Sydney on an insanely early flight. Marcey is NOT a morning person (even compared to me). So the beach was beautiful, the water was clear and really warm. We played in the lake and burried ourselves in sand. good fun. then Andy took us to a natural hot spring for the locals. MArcey was grossed out there because there were floaties in the water and she saw a rat. So we didn't stay long. We also stopped beside a random tree by the road becaseu there was a plaque there. some Moari woman left her baby there for some reason one time and now it's a lucky tree. weird. anyways. that night there was a concert in Rotorua.. some city party of sorts. well it was really spectacular and the firworks at the end were INSANE!!! WOW! I will never see another show that good I'm sure. wow. On our way back to the hostle.. ha. we stopped at the Fuze again to so our favorite kiwi regge band. they were playing two nights. so we danced it up. On the bands first break the lead piano player come over to talk to me. kinda cool becaseu he's got dreads and all. so we talked about music and how we were leaving for Auckland in the morning. Well that's where the band was from (all brothers) and they were playing there on Monday in a park. so he gave us his number so we could hang out in Auckland and come watch them play again. So we did. It was sweet. such nice guys.
Now we have a today and tomorrow together in Sydney (Marcey and I). Then I'm going to Albury for school and Marcey is getting a job in Wagga Wagga most likely. So we will not continue our adventures together. Unless she plans to meet up with me for my 3 week spring break.
Don't get mad... I'm black. and my sunscrean exploded in my bag yesterday. what a mess.
OH! And Joan and Max made us a raost lamb last night with sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkin, something that's like spinach, gravy, and veges. wow. WOW!! was that good or what! I am sad to leave Joan and Max behind. They are truely amazing people!
so the NZ chapter is closed and the OZ one begins!! Stay tunned!

Oh yes, and glow worms are worms that cling to the side of wet caves and there's one dot (on their butt??) that glows on them. not like fire flys. the zorb thing is a vidoe that will be sent all over the world to countries that are wanting to see what NZ is about or are thinking about getting a zorb. I heard surrey?? BC is thinking about it. cheers

Thanks for all the detailed descriptions of your travels. I enjoyed them a lot. My cousin's wife wondered if you had a chance to taste wallaby pie? Good luck with your studies. Take care.
