New "talents"

Apologies for the lack updates in the last week...we are still waiting for internet to be hooked up in our apartment...and my camera is for the moment out of order (photos to be posted next week).


Australians love sports. Everyone who knows me knows that I am HUGE fan of CHELSEA and football (soccer) in general. But since arriving to Australia I've been picking up new sports...I've been learning to play cricket :-) My friend Simon has taken me to the "nets" (bating cages) to practice my "balling" and "hitting". I've also managed to sit through an entire afternoon of watching Day 5 of the Australia vs. India cricket match. Despite appearance, cricket is quite an interesting sport!


Furthermore...I'm learning to GOLF. Beautiful public courses like the one below are scattered all over Australia. I've been fortunate enough to play an 18-hole game at the Coast Golf Course. The views are absolutely breath-taking.

Stephanie and I have also discovered that driving ranges are a great way to relieve extra stress and get an upper-body work out!

This weekend we are off to Palm Beach to watch a sailing competition!
