Australia Day

It's like the American 4th of July. Lots of festivals, lots of singing, boozing, fireworks, more boozing, beaches, bbq's, and yet more boozing. Oh and they do the whole red, white, and blue thing here too--just all of their clothing and flags say "A U S T R A L I A" instead of "USA."

So, you might wonder, what will I do on this wonderful national public holiday? I am going to work...Double pay, baby!

I'm serious; I'll be working for most of the day, most likely scolding drunk hostel-goers stumbling off the beach. Yayyy. However, this morning, as soon as I get myself out of bed, Brian and I will be heading down to The Rocks to watch the ferrython (all the boats and ferries get dressed up all festive-like and race across the Sydney Harbour), as well as eat some hot dogs and listen to the free concerts going on downtown. Pictures to come :).
