Hi friends. My blog is starting to collect spiderwebs and dust! Well, how can sum up the last few months? Back in May, Matt and I went to Melbourne to visit our friends Matt and Lee. We only went for four days. Melbourne is an awesome city. Much more alternative than Sydney. Don't get me wrong, I do love Sydney and it's striking beauty however Melbourne is full of cafes, good shopping and offers more of a platform for artists and musicians. The city embraces the arts and culture which makes it an overall thriving environment. On the same trip we drove along the Great Ocean Road a bit to stay in a small town called Lorne. Lorne is just a tiny town along the beach (seen above). The Great Ocean Road is a popular road that runs along the southern coast of Australia from just outside of Melbourne into South Australia. Many surfers go along this route to find secluded, surf spots. It's a great road trip offering small towns and quaint accommodation along the way. Very popular activity for visitors to Australia, as well as Australians themselves!
That has been the only getaway since then. I have been focusing on fitness for the last few months, running mostly. In two weeks I am participating in the City2Surf, a 14km fun run from Hyde Park in the city of Sydney and weaves through some of the most beautiful suburbs. My friend, Clara and I did this run yesterday so we know what to expect on the day of the race. Some of the views along the course are unreal! And the people that wake up to that view everyday... well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous! The run itself ends at Bondi Beach. Overall, I'm feeling good about the race. However, I will be relieved when it's over! Then I can stop feeling so guilty if I skip a run or a gym session.
Weather has been strange here lately. One day cold and wet and the next is warm and sunny! I'm very excited for summer again. Especially because that means my family will be here for their visit! Mom, Dad and Jesse will be here over New Year's Eve - very exciting time to be in Sydney. Lot of tourists in town to see the famous fireworks on NYE and we'll be right there with them on the harbour.
So, that's just a summary of my life lately. Not super exciting it may seem but been busy nonetheless. I just realised that it has been a month since Michael Jackson's death - time and life sure do fly by, don't they?!
