So most of my posts have just been what we have done so I thought I would right a post more about what I think about the trip. Well after the crazy long plane ride, things started off kinda rocky. First of all it was way cold when we got here since it is summer at home and fall here. So that was quiet a shock and I did NOT pack for that kind of weather. Our first night was also kind of strange. We went to a very nice resturant, but we had a very limited menu to pick from and the food wasn't that great. We thought that would only happen that one time, but we were wrong. We were give pretty much three choices to eat from for lunch and dinner, chicken parm, veal or chicken shnitzzle (I am pretty sure I spelled that wrong), or pork. After a couple of days this soon got very frustrating and I felt it was limiting our study abroad experience. So once we complained enough to our tour guide, Graeme, he finally fixed it and let us choose from the whole menu. Now we get to try different food and enjoy the experience much more. The only down side to that is that now we get food that we like and eat way too much! I would have to say that that ia my only complant for the entrie trip! It has been really amazing and beautiful here. I have learned so much about the agriculture of Australia and how many differences and similarities it has with the U.S. I also couldn't have asked for better travel mates than who came. Everyone has been great and on time, for the most part. The Sydney Opera House was so beautiful!!! I am so so so so so so so excited for the Great Barrier Reef!!! It is going to be so much fun and I will be sure to post lots of pictures from it when I get home...since I have an underwater camera case! This has been an amazing and once in a lifetime experience that I will treasure forever! Well stay tuned and I will keep you updated on the northern part our Aussie tour!
