October 11th, Not Quite There

We got back from the Central Coast and Sydney where we spent some good, quality time with friends and my Australian family, the Maynes. It was great to catch up.

We were supposed to leave yesterday and today, but decided to go to our friend's birthday party instead. It was a Simpson's theme party. In Australia they call costume parties "fancy dress", which really makes me laugh because I used to always think that people had parties where everyone would fully dress in formal get-up. I just couldn't understand why there were so many of these parties at people's houses. It's created quite a few funny conversations and a lot of laughs. They really love their costume parties here. There seems to be one every weekend or so and everyone goes ALL out. They just don't party like that in America....

So the party was really fun. I didn't stay for long, as it's not my scene these days, but the costumes were ridiculous and I only included this post so that I could put up some pictures of my friends. So there.

Maybe we'll leave tomorrow....
