I can feel like this trip is going to fly by. The days seem to be going by so fast here even though it's only been a couple of days. Yesterday after class we went in to Sydney and saw the Opera House and some Botanical Gardens. The bus ride back into the city was super long due to rush hour. It was also very hot on the bus and there was no place to sit. But we made it back ok.
Today we had our first real lesson in class and had a guest speaker. He was very interesting and we learned all about Australia's History and how it parallels with our history. After class we headed into Sydney again. This time we went to Darling Harbor and went to a shopping mall. We found this really awesome Market that has lots of cheap souvenirs, so that's just up my alley.
I'm excited for tomorrow because we are going to a park to see kangaroos, Olympic Park, and to Manly Beach. Then we are going to a Rugby match after that and on Sunday we are going to an Australian Rules game.
