Sydney

I made it to Sydney! The trip started yesterday afternoon, with a 3-hour bus ride from Brisbane to Casino. It was the most amazing ride, because we were driving through the countryside as the sun was setting, and it was the most beautiful thing you could see...just for hours. I took the overnight train from Casino to Sydney- 12 hours- leaving at 7pm and getting there at 7am. Luckily the train was pretty empty and I had a row to myself so I could attempt to go to sleep.

I got to Sydney this morning and took the train out to Waverton, where Meg picked me up (a girl from the program) and we went back to her apartment to drop off my bags. After a little while, we headed back into the city. We walked to the fish market, and through the Quay to get the Opera House and a little through the Rocks. At the opera house, we decided to be crazy and bought tickets to a show Friday night! I think it was a great idea.

Tomorrow I am going to the US Consulate to get a new passport, and in the evening a meeting of Transition Sydney at the Fair Trade Cafe. And that's really it! It is great to be in Sydney, it is great to be with Meg, it is great to be moving along this whole ISP process.
