One Month Left in Australia!

So it is October 23rd in Oz right now and I realized I leave a month from today! It is crazy to think I have been here for three and a half months already. I have experienced so many things and have so many stories that I could spend all week typing and not be able to tell everything.

Just for a couple a recent things. This past weekend, I went to Brisbane for the Australian Mixed Ultimate Frisbee Championships. It was an amazing tournament to say I've played in a nationals. The team I played for, Rubi, was ranked 6th in the tournament, but we ended up getting 17th. It was unfortunate because the team won 5 games and lost only three. However, we just lost the wrong games, losing to two teams who we had beaten a couple of weeks earlier. However the tournament was a great deal of fun, and it was a good atmosphere meeting a bunch of people. The party was also some good fun with a Vegas theme, and made me realize I dont really know what people in vegas wear. So i just threw on a collared shirt and tie and had some fun dancing and what not.

The weekend before that I went to a party and my friend Ali B's house for a frisbee social. There was a talent show and dinner and stuff. His house looks on the harbor and the bridge and it is an amazing sight at night and during the day. I also went to Manly beach which is like half an hour bus and half an hour ferry and went surfing there for the first time in Australia. The waves weren't much but it was a lot of fun surfing and soaking up the sun. It was a definitely reminder or southern california life.

Besides for day to day actions, nothing is really going on besides what I described. My brother, Dave, did crash at my apartment fot the night. We just had a few beers and chilled. It was fun to see him. It has been quite an unbelievable experience these past three and a half months and i can't even begin to think what the last month will bring. This trip has been such a blessing in disguise. From barely deciding to even applying to com to Australia to loving every moment of this trip, I am so happy with my decisions, and thank everyone who encouraged me to go on this adventure, my biggest supporters being my parents.

Thanks everyone for being interested in my goings on and see you all soon.

Love and Cheers,

Richard
