A night of sobriety

The next day was a very lazy day indeed. I finally skype'd with my parents and showed them around my place. I was feeling fine the night before, and the next morning, but I found it appealing to stay in bed until 1 pm. We finally went to cafe bond for lunch, and found it absolutely vital to workout.


Once it became dark outside, the guys Libby and I decided to go to Broadbeach to sight see and check out the scene on our own. We were going to the mall in Pacific Fair, but it was closed for the night. We decided that it was the greatest idea to go play on the beach at 7:30 at night. We took lots of pictures jumping on the beach and other ridiculous things that only tourist do. It was great to have good 'ole fashion fun playing on the beach. We took jumping pictures, and handstands, and everything else full of fun. After our fun on the beach, we decided to walk around and found an amazing playground. If playgrounds were like this is America, no child nor adult would ever be obese. There was a train that rolled around over the edge and we raced around trying to catch one another.

From there we found a local bar called Liars where we watched the rugby game and played some pokies. Pokies is a term that means slot machines. We found this out by being the most American we could and asking the bartenders flat out what it was. There was even a band that played local music and older American songs. Nothing like a bunch of Americans trying to act Australian in a local tavern watching rugby.

I am completely obsessed with rugby now. It is one of the coolest sports and so complicated that I love it. I really want to go to a live match and see it in action. Not to mention that rugby boys are adorable and look so cute in their uniforms :)
