get my tan on

this past weekend was spent at the beach. the weather here is gorgeous! it was hot enough this weekend to lay out on the beach both days and actually get a tan and go in the water. the water was freezing but after a while you got used to it! on saturday i had a field trip for one of my classes to watch a netball game (it's like basketball for girls but you can't move when you have the ball). the netball game was in a town called marouba and the beach was within a 15 minute walk. so i spent about 2 hours that day at the beach. got some lunch and walked around for a bit. the first two pics are of marouba. the last three are of coogee beach. another famous beach in australia. i think everyone from john's went to the beach that day. apparently sunday set a record for being the hottest ever for this time of winter. it was great. we got to the beach at around 11am and left around 4pm. it was a great way to spend a sunday. it's amazing how i can already go to the beach. i'm sure there will be many future visits to the beach once it's REALLY warm out. on the way home i was lucky enough to get a ride home from someone else that lived in john's. it was funny because he drives the same car as me. it made me miss my little red car. but it was a really cool experience. they drive on the other side of the road, and on the other side of the car. it was scary at times, because i thought the cars were going to crash, but it was really cool. i hope i don't get too used to people driving on the other side of the road....
