After a very long 14 hour drive, we finally made it to Canberra. Grace, Sarah and I hit the road with our good friends, Brad and Grant. We stayed with their sister Judy, we've met before and absolutely adore. Her apartment was in walking distance to The Oval, where the cricket game was held. The game we attended was Australia vs. England. The boys tried to explain cricket to us several times so we were excited to go to a game and watch it.
We dressed up to match the other Aussies- big hats, face paint and beer in hand. Although it was extremely hot that day, we had a blast. Since all 6 of us had matching hats and seemed to be "the fun crowd" everyone was asking to take our picture. We even ended up making the front page of the Canberra Times the next day! Unfortunately, Australia lost to England but the day was we really enjoyed the new experience.
