Saturday June 14

Hott isn't it? Oh wait, were you talking about the opera house? :)


This is the cafe we ate at with the ocean behind us! Across the street is also where a bird pooped on Brighton, everyone keeps telling her it's good luck, but I just don't see how that can be true!

Holy cow time flies! I can't believe I've already been here a week and a half! This weekend was awesome! On Saturday we decided to take the ferry from Circular Quay (which is where the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge are) to Manly. Manly is the cutest little town across the bay from Sydney! It looks to me a lot more like a tourist destination slash somewhere that people really live, just the way the condos and hotels were setup, as opposed to a commercial area like in downtown Sydney. It has the most amazing beach and tons of different shops, just like everywhere else. The weather was a bit windy and rainy, but that of course didn't stop us or the many crazy surfers that were out in the water. It was fun watching them and you could tell how much they must have just loved it because first of all it was freezing outside and second they all just stayed out in the water as long as they could even when it got dark you could tell they just wanted to stay a little longer! We ate at one of the many cafes that just looked out over the ocean right at sunset, it was beautiful!


This is Manly Beach at sunset, all those blacks dots in the water are surfers!


This is the other side of Manly Beach!


Wendy and I don't need actual waves to surf, we're pretty good just the way we are!

After dinner we took a stroll along the beach and just wanted to talk to some hot surfers, but sadly enough they were all on the run once they got out of the water. Don't worry though we just pretended like they were too nervous to approach 3 cute american girls and then we felt better about ourselves! :) haha Later that night we heard some ruckus and loud cheering coming from one of the hotel bars so naturally we went to ch-ch-ch-check it out and everyone was watching a rugby game England vs. The All Blacks (New Zealand), we really had no idea what was going on, which frustrated Wendy that she couldn't answer a sports question, but it was kind of exciting and everyone was getting so into it and there were some really cute rugby players! I'm pretty sure The All Blacks ended up winning!


We love bread, yes we do! We love bread, how bout you?

After that we headed to our favorite shopping destination in Sydney, Cole's aka the grocery store! :) Pretty much all the breads they make here are fresh, it's like Europe in that people buy bread almost everyday so it's not as common to have like a Grandma Sycamore or Wonder Bread. Along with that the bread obviously goes bad faster, well we've discovered if you show up at just the right times at night and especially on Saturday nights they mark the bread and pastries down really cheap! We have fondly come to call this dollar days! Whole loaves of bread, full size baguette's, 12 medium sized donuts, ginormous cheese and bacon rolls all for only $1.00!! You'd think we were a band of starving ruffians the way we attack that aisle when those dollar stickers are up! :)
