Days 13 & 14 - My First Taste of Kangaroo and Lots of Rain

After about 10 days of perfect sunny weather and temperatures in the 70s, we had two days of straight heavy rain.  There was some major flooding around the Sydney area and I think we ended up with over 4 inches of rain or so during the two days.  That was fine though as I was able to finish my portfolio (last major assignment for Penn St) which I just submitted!  So all was not lost during the last two days.

I also had my first taste of kangaroo, I actually ate it!!  We had kangaroo steaks for dinner on Tuesday.  I must say it was pretty good.  It's a very rich and tender steak, which is apparently very good for you.  It kind of reminded me of a skirt steak, but it was delicious.  It is a bit weird to eat the national symbol of the country, but hey it tasted good!

We have a barbecue planned on Friday at one of Bobby and Maddie's friends houses near the beach, and then two nights out on city on Friday and Saturday which should be an adventure.  Then teaching finally begins on Monday!
