MCG ~ June 7, 2012

June 7, 2012

Hey guys! Today we toured the MCG, which is one of the largest arenas in Australia (holds about 100,000 people).  On the lower level there is a sports museum where we learned a little more about cricket (sort of like baseball, but not really at all) and the history of sports in Australia. On our way to lunch we took a little tour of the Grand Prix course here in Melbourne and then ate lunch overlooking the field that we'll watch the Essendon Bombers take on the Sydney Swans on Saturday.
