Sydney feels very different from Minnesota because it is very hot. We wear hats here to protect us from the sun which is much stronger here. Our hats have bill in front like a baseball cap, and long pieces in the back that protect our neck from the sun.
My little bother Kieran and I played in a big park called Hyde Park, while my mom and her students were taking a class at the Australian Museum. We tried to climb some huge trees, but everywhere we looked there were flies or spider webs with spiders in them. Also, my little brothher jumped into a big, shallow fountain, that was like a pool. Then I started to put my feet in, and then I started walking around in the fountain too. It felt refreshing to get in the water on this hot afternoon. Since the fountains sprayed out the side like a dome, I would to try to walk through them all the way to the other side without splashing any water on my shorts, before the fountains stopped spraying.
For dinner we went to a barbeque on Sydney Harbor. I had to order my own food and all the students ordered their food and then had to grill it themselves. Mine came to me already cooked. I wanted to fall asleep at the table because I was so tired from the flight. Instead, my Gran and I took a cab home and I fell asleep right away when we got to the hotel.
Our hotel is actually called a hostel and there are people staying here from all over the world, especially Europe and Asia. I haven't heard that many Australian accents yet, but I have heard people speaking many different languages. We haven't seen any signs or posters of the Wiggles yet. This picture is the famous Sydney Opera House - it looks like a giant.
