Sydney Day 1



We rolled into Sydney around 6:30am wondering what happened to the Saturday we lost. Confounded International Date Line!

Since we were able to get some sleep on the plane, we were ready for our first full day in Aussie territory. We started off by getting our hosts out of bed at 8am and dragging them off to church. They were very gracious and even introduced us to many fine Aussie Christians.

We spent the rest of the day at "home" getting to know our host family, and Chris even learned how to play rugby, as seen above. As you can also tell, he pondered the mysteries of hat levitation and reached new strides in his kicking skills.

New Aussie vocab for the day: tea
Is it a midafternoon snack? Is it lunch? dinner? a simple cup of boiling caffinated leaves? or something else altogether? Any of the above seem to be acceptable, no two people can agree on the matter. Oh well, it's always nice to be invited for a "cuppa."

See ya later all you Bruces and Sheilas!
