Heya!

Not too much exciting happening round here. The sandstorm (thank god) never got as bad as Sydney had it. Made all of Brisbane yellow but other then that was fairly ok. I took a bunch of pics from our house so you can check out things from our perspective (Note there is two photos at the end that show what it should look like sans dust.) http://s636.photobucket.com/albums/uu81/mcawesome-in-aussie/Dust%20Storm/ 

As for today, Nate and I decieded to head down to Southbank and check out the Great Brisbane duck Race where they race rubber duckys down the river. When we got down there we noticed that there was a really odd circus  (and by odd i mean "Check out the man that breathes thru his eyes!" kinda odd- yes that was an actual tent). So we checked out the duck race and it was kinda lame so we walked the boardwalk for a bit. They had giant boads with childrens interpretations of the city along to boardwalk. It was so awesome. If you knocked on the board it played the childrens voices explaining their board. Very cool. and i guess it was the school too that covered all the trees in empty water bottles. Anyhow it was CRAZY hot out today and i started feeling really sick and gross so nate and i went into the movie place to get some a/c for a bit and decided to treat ourselves to a movie. We went to see fame and i have to say i wasnt that impressed with the lack of any realy plot. oh well. After that we just headed home. All in all a good day date :)
