The AFL game was awesome! So much better than American football. The team I went for (root for= having sex with) was down by almost 40 points at halftime and came back within one goal, which can be scored in a matter of seconds, in the 4th quarter only to have time run out literally milliseconds before kicking the winning goal. One of the most thrilling parts of the game is that the fans at the stadium don't know exactly when time will run out! Each quarter is 20 min long, but the scoreboard only shows a running time of the game without stops for goals, etc.
Our tour guides got us amazing 3rd row seats at the equivalent of the 50 yard line and right behind the Essendon bench!
One tour guide turned out to be an engineer and a successful one at that. He is a structural engineer, who helped design many well know buildings in Melbourne. He was also on the team to design a few of the major sporting arenas in the area. He now owns his own business designing houses and some $5 million mansions on the coast out of the comfort of his home. We had nice conversation about what I want to do and gave me ideas of things I could do with my degree. It really is pretty amazing the people you meet when on a journey like the one I'm on now. Its already been more than I could ever ask for and we've only completed the first week! Next stop Canberra for 4 days, then off to the warm, sunny beaches if Cairns (pronounced "cans"). The best may still be yet to come :)
Love cider! Like beer, but so much better
Go Essendon!

This is how awesome our seats were, right down by all the action! If you run the ball you have to bounce it ever few meters, so that's what this guy is doing in the picture
