Ready, Weather or Not...GO!

The weather is generally in the upper 60's to mid 70's now. So it's Spring time here?

I'm not sure what to call it, but we're on the cusp of summer and it's great. I'm so excited. I go to the beach (Bondi) semi-frequently and went into the water for the first time the other day. The water was (bad pun warning) cold as I'll get out, but it was refreshing too. I went with my housemates and we had a good time. 90% of the time I go to the beach, I end up passing out in the sand. It's a great feeling. It was really interesting to go with a few of the locals this last time around because I learned a few things about Bondi beach culture. The tourists and backpackers stay on the side closest to Bondi Junction. The attractive people and muscle heads are on the other end. A few French nudist types are in between the backpackers and the middle of the beach. I know now where I should be chilling from here on out. There were also quite a few camera men this time around as they were filming a show called Bondi Rescue. I had to resist the urge to walk behind them and be as awkward as possible, but I was able to successfully repress the urge. TV just isn't ready for it yet. Every time I go to the beach, I meet the most attractive person in Sydney. It's baffling how many of those there are on the beach. I wonder when I'll find "the one." I'll keep you up to date.

The weather has been nice enough that I've started running again. I woke up at 5:15am the other day and ran to the beach to watch the Sunrise. It was pretty epic. If ever you need something to fibrillate your soul or make you realize how beautiful earth is, there's (almost) nothing better than watching the sunrise over a beach.

I also ran to see the sunset over the beach. It was gorgeous as well, but the sun can't really be seen from the beach. It gets lost behind buildings to the left of the beach. The change in colors are gorgeous, but for the ultimate romantic experience, you need to actually see the sun set over the water.

Pictures to be posted soon!
