I write from a Land Down Under....

Hello from Bondi Beach! So here I am in Sydney Australia, crazy! Lauren and I flew yesterday from Fiji and we're currently staying in Bondi Beach. We're here because 'Rosh Hashana starts tonight and we'll be going to shul and having meals with some people the rabbi set up for us. Otherwise I might not stay here...I'm basically the exact opposite of a surfer chick and Bondi is like the hot spot for people to go to the beach. Its nice though, it reminds me a lot of Tel Aviv but bigger. Yesterday was SO crowded because it was Sunday, its a little more chilled out now. I think we're going to head to the beach once I get my internet fix. We're in a hostel that looks out over the ocean, and we're sharing a room with four British dudes....it seems that the entire population of Brits in their 20's is backpacking, I don't know who's left in the country! Still the only Americans, and a Serbian guy this morning told us we were the first Americans he had met traveling (besides when he was in America). I feel like we've been spoiled so far because in Fiji we often had the dorm rooms almost completely to ourselves and now we're in a proper hostel, I'm sleeping on a top bunk, it's like a bizarre summer camp :) But its all good and we're still having a great time. Sydney so far looks just like an American city except that everbody has funny accents.

I think that's it for now, more details and pictures to follow!
