I made it to Adelaide! After 3 days of exploring Sydney, a night of dancing in King's Cross, and hanging out with Jill and Ruben, I hopped on a plane to Adelaide. For an understanding of the location - basically compare Australia to the contiginous 48 states. Sydney would be where Myrtle Beach area is and Adelaide would be like Houston.
I landed around 1 PM on Saturday. We went to Tyler's place - which is amazing btw. It has 3 stories. You walk in on the main level (after taking the elevator up to floor 8) and there's a kitchen, dining room, living room, laundry room, 1/2 bath, and balcony. Then you can either go upstairs to the rooftop deck which is HUGE and his own private deck. Or you can go downstairs to where he has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. One of the bedrooms is actually set up as an office right now though. So yeah - its a pretty nice place. It's also within only a few blocks of downtown so we spent the day wandering around the city - eating lunch and dinner at two restaurants that Tyler knew already. As a side note - I ordered an "entree" for dinner which at home means "main course". Here - entree is taken more at its literal meaning - probably something like "entrance" - and is more just a starter course.
Adelaide is a cool city of about 300,000 people. It has a main downtown area with a bunch of restaurants and bars and shops. It even has a Target. The main grocery store down here seems to be Woolworths. Isn't that a grocery store from like the olden times? Like Breakfast at Tiffany's style or It's a Wonderful Life or something like that??? Anyways - it also has a nice river with a cool riverwalk that should be fun to run on. It has a beach area too about 30 min away by train from downtown but I have yet to explore that. It is also filled with lots of churches and parks and is a pretty pretty city...
Right now its Sunday morning at about 8:30 am - I already talked to the fam a bit - and once Tyler wakes up - I think we're going to go have breakfast at this cool place in the hills outside of the city. Exciting!
