Australia Day!!

Ok, so this is a little late, BUT I had to make sure we put it in here, because it was SO fun!  Some students in the program left for Melbourne for our 4-day weekend, but for those of us that stayed here, we had just as much fun!!

During the day we went to one of the huge cricket matches against India.  While cricket might possibly be one of the most boring sports out there, it was awesome to see!  The game itself goes for 5 DAYS, but of course one was enough for us.  All the Australian's get really into the game and the atmosphere is crazy!

A lot of people also went to the Glenelg for the day to have fun at the beach, which I heard was a blast.  I would for sure recommend going to a cricket game, though if you get the chance.  You really feel like your in Australia, with all the pride around the place.  

At night a group of us headed out to the river across the street from us.  They were having an Aussie Day celebration there with live music and fireworks.
