You may be asking yourself..."What is Australia Day all about?" Well I am so glad you asked...because now I know...basically it is the Day England let them go, but they got off a lot easier than we did..no wars or anything...I guess the Brits were tired of losing wars after our excursion...Anyhow, their celebrations are much the same, go to the beach, enjoy cookouts, and picnics in the parks...and a few fireworks. We of course jumped into the traditions and enjoyed the day on Bondi beach with our friend (and housemate) Frances (she is from London). We had a great day! We had to take a series of public transportation venues so it took us about 3 hours to get to the beach, but the adventure was well worth it :).
We still do not have the internet at our house, but we are working on it. We have to walk down to McD's for free wi-fi. It is about a 15 minute walk.
Matt started school today and had a really enjoyable day. He is learning a lot about what he will be learning and meeting a lot of people. Tonight...he is tired.
Tiff took a trek to Rouse Hill which is a shopping center a couple of miles from where we live...No, she didn't walk there, but she did miss her bus stop on the way back adding a couple extra steps to her trip...Dad, I went to Big W...it reminded me a lot of a store we have back home... :)
Tonight we are relaxing..we had a meeting with all of our housemates who are quite lovely. We are in the international house with mates from Switzerland, Norway, England, Malaysia, and Canada.
We met a couple on Sunday night and they have invited us to dinner tomorrow night with their parents. Her mum is a teacher so we hope this may give some insight to job opportunities for Tiff. Please keep us in your prayers as God continues to work in amazing ways.
We hope all our friends and family are doing well. We should have Skype up and running by the end of the week so you better get those webcams ready.
