Getting Pissed...

Now if I were in America, I would use that phrase to describe how I felt this morning when I got poured on for about half my run...but since I am in Australia, I learned that I would use that phrase to describe what happened to the four Americans after a four hour Aussie Pub Crawl last night!

We met up with about 25 other people and went to four of the bars around town. It was fun because we got to meet a lot of other people and experience a few bars we hadn't been too. The nite started off slow since we were the only ones in the first bar, but it ended with us all in great spirits and having a lot of good stories to make fun of each other about today, tomorrow, etc! I swear though, all the bars here play cheesy 80's and 90's techno music. Very rarely do I hear some of the good stuff. BUT they do play mostly American music! Sometimes they throw in UK or Australian bands in the mix and I have no idea what they are saying or never heard of it (still trying to work out those Aussie accents...).

It was funny because most of the people I met out at the bars were Irish guys and they all said the same thing..."It's not a real party unless you party with the Irish!" I had to agree...

So like I said, this morning it is still raining. Rebecca and I are going to meet Ryan's friend Jane and she is going to show us more of the city. Hopefully it clears up. My run this morning was nice - other than the rain. I actually found out that you can run all the way around the Opera House so I got to see it from the other side. I also saw a Jellyfish in the water - or a plastic bag that was litter...but I am pretty sure it was a Jellyfish.

That's all for now...I'm off to brave the weather and explore more of the city!
