First Week

My first week in Australia has been good. It was cloudy and rainy a lot of the time but I got a couple of really nice days. I haven't done a lot this week, I'm still trying to get used to area. There are 3 different malls fairly close to my apartment, so I went to each of those just to look around and see what was there. I haven't spent much money on shopping...I'm trying to pace myself a little bit :)

I finally got a phone the other day. Its strange because only one person has my number so far so I don't get many calls or texts (a little different than back home). All the same, its nice to be able to carry a phone with me again.

The other day I finally got to see The Lovely Bones. I have been wanting to see it for a while and am excited that I finally go to. When the movie got over I did a little shopping and came back to my apartment. That night I went to the Bassingthwaight's house for diner. It was nice to get to see everyone and have a home made diner. It was very good, and I was lucky enough to get to take leftovers home with me :)

Today was a beautiful day outside. My mom updated me on my brother's basketball game so I knew how it was going. When the game was over I decided to make a trip to the beach. I ended up going to surfer's paradise. The first thing I did when I got there was take a couple pictures of the beach. After that I walked around the shops a bit. The I finally got to sit on the beach. The sand was so soft and it was probably one of my best days here so far, just relaxing on the beach.

I have posted some pictures of the beach on facebook so feel free to check them out!!

Cheers,
