After a long day of sessions at Wesley, a bunch of us ASCers thought it would be a great idea to go to the mall nearby to set up our local cell phones before the weekend. We got to the mall around 5:00 only to find out that the malls (and for the most part, all stores) close at 5:30 in Australia… we didn’t make it to the Virgin Mobile store in time so we headed to the bus station…
Sam and I looked like the perfect lost American tourists, running after buses (which ended up being the wrong one anyway), finally getting on the bus only to go way too far on it and having the sarcastic turban-headed bus driver laugh at us, getting on another wrong bus and then walking back a good 30 minutes to the Tomasetti’s house. This was only after asking more than a dozen Aussies, “How can we get to Anandale?” (our “home” town, which we are not able to pronounce like they do). Needless to say, we never thought we’d be so happy to spot the sketchy “Victoria Hotel Bar” sign that shouts neon at us from across our front door.
On the upside, I forgot to mention… We’re getting a puppy a week from today!!!!! An adorable mini goldon doodle!!!! His name is Pete and the Tomasetti household, including Sam and me, are SO EXCITED!!!!
