What three words best describe your day?

Long, tired and sick are three words that best describe my day.

This was the day that we left Sydney to go back to Texas and when you consider sitting on a plane and the time change the day, literally was long. And of course I was tired as previously mentioned, I was on a plane most of the time. And to top it off, I was sick on the place. But I guess it was also pretty sick that I was traveling home to Texas too.

Australia Day 3: Outdoors in Adelaide

Another early morning in Adelaide! The Jet lag is still in effect so I woke up unusually early but that's okay because today I am going hiking for the first time with my cousin.  Today we are hiking about 3 miles to Mount Lofty. When we drove there I was surprised at how many people where there hiking; it's something I would never find in Texas.  We started it off with a nice photo in front of a little waterfall (I'm rocking my bodypop leggings). Then we started actually hiking and man, was it brutal! My legs were so sore from climbing all the way to the top. Some sections of the hike were incredibly steep. When we finally reached the top we celebrated with ice pops and selfies. The view of Adelaide was worth the effort. The downhill was a lot easier aside from me eating it once as I was going down a steep bit. But it's okay I have bruises and battle scars to show off my first hiking expedition.

After the hike, we all went to a family picnic in the park.  We played ball and ate shrimp on the barbie (hehe). Life in Australia is very laid back.

At sunset, we drove to Glenelg beach with our cousins. The water was cold and the waves were fierce. We tried playing beach volleyball but it did not go too well so we ended up playing in the water which was very salty.

This is what I would call an active day. We spent a lot of our day outside. It was very fun.

What kind of person do you want to be?

I want to be the kind of person people look to for inspiration.

Kept this one pretty vague as well. I really want to be a role model for others. Whether it be fashion, fitness, academics, etc. I want to live well and set a good example.

Australia Day 2: Boxing Day Shopping Day

The upside of jet lag is waking up early but very awake. My day started at around 6am. I stayed in my room for a while trying to get more sleep and then gave up and got ready for today. We were spending the day with our cousins at Rundle Mall, a long street of shops. It was Boxing Day in Australia so there were many sales and crowded streets. 

We first went to a board and card game store and bought some cards. Then we went to a girls fashion store called Valley Girl and I was so amazed at how cheap everything was. I bought a skater dress for $10. I thought America was cheap but I would never be able to find a good $10 dress in America. And the great thing about shopping here is no sales tax. And then I bought a pair of crochet jean shorts for $15. We stopped for burritos at Zambreros, which is like an Australian Chipotle. I got a chicken chiqito. Then we stopped at a tea store called T2 where I bought a pomegranate boxed tea. There were soooo many different teas. Tea isn’t too popular in the US so it was cool to see a large teashop. Then we went to a boba place in Chinatown and I drank a QQ passionfruit green tea.

After that, we ate dinner at home. Our family loves home cooked meals so we never eat out. That night, we drove around and looked at Christmas lights and then went to downtown Adelaide at night.

(Real time update: It's January 4th I have already slipped my sentence a day posts. I will put those up. I will push through these Australia daily posts as well and get them posted asap. I have tons of photos also so when I finish all my typing I will put in pictures.)
