Day 13
Early Monday morning, Tasha and I rushed off to catch the train and meet up with her housemate Rob and his friend Max to go hiking. Destination: Blue Mountains! So beautiful.

Day 14
Tuesday morning I had an appt at the University of Sydney. Loved the campus - it's in the city, the Population Health building is in the middle of campus, and everyone was so helpful and friendly - it was wonderful.

I had planned to stop at the University of New South Wales on my way to meet Mark at Coogee Beach(Tasha had a work meeting), but accidentally got off the bus at the wrong stop, realized it after walking for a bit and not finding the university, and when I walked back to where I'd gotten off and got back on the next bus, Mark was on the bus! Not wanting to have to locate him again having already "found" him, I decided to skip wandering UNSW's campus, and just spent the entire afternoon on the beach, doing absolutely nothing(got a bit of a nasty sunburn, but it was worth it).

That evening we all headed to the Australian Museum across from Hyde Park for Jurassic Lounge(www.jurassiclounge.com) where "Over two ten week seasons a year, on Tuesday nights, the Australian
Museum opens its doors for after-hours sessions with bars, live music
and performance, interactive games, expert talks, hands-on workshops,
film screenings and live art, set against a stunning backdrop of
taxidermy and quirky science specimens." Basically visiting the museum with games and music and drinks and glowing body paint and a silent disco....I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I LOVED Australia. Everyone was so wonderful, and it will be great to see all my friends (new and old) again. Cannot wait to return! :D

SILENT DISCO?! Looks weird. And cool. :)
It's actually really awesome because you can talk to people if you want by just removing your headphones, AND you can control the volume of the music in your ears too :D
