Day 1!

Woah.. That flight was EXTREMELY long! Ha. We had to fly 4 hours to LA and then 14 hours to Sydney. We finally landed in Sydney at about 5:40 in the morning and we just went off and started our day! We were all really jet lagged, tired, and hungry but that didn't stop us from having a crazy day! First we went to the Crickett grounds. It's such a big deal here! Did you know that a crickett game could go on for 25 days?? And people actually sit there and watch it!!!! Haha. I don't think my attention span is that long. Then they let us try crickett. Throwing, or "bowling" is so hard! You have to keep your arm straight as you bring it over your head. Then hitting it is kind of hard, too. The bat is heavy. After we went to the crickett grounds, we went to the Sydney Tower. It was really neat to see all the things down below. We could see the airport. I have some really cool pictures from up there. Well.. I think that's all for the first day.. Onto the next one....
