Well we couldnt have felt more at home on Aussie Day in Canada. They surely put on a sweet show playing the jjj countdown live at one of the pubs. They also had sausage rolls, coopers pale ale and bundy rum selling to raise money for the qld floods....unreal. The night started out fairly early...bout 6 where jared, lehan, stu (our temp roomie) and myself preparing in our aussie gear (thanks to mum and adam and ben from work) with temp tatts on faces and flags wrapped around our bodies. We walked into town since it has been unfortunately warm the last few days (not good for snow) to join the rest of the aussies and all others that wanted to get in on the good tunes and dancing. Well my legs danced for hours and hours until number 1 of the countdown played at 3 in the morning!!! Everyone out was in awesome spirits and my giant blow up hand was a mega hit with hi 5s flying left right and centre from any happy random! Wednesday was an absolute recovery day with all of us feeling sorry for ourselves (especially Jared who was nursing some bruises after attempting to push bike home in snow... and maybe from all his breakdancing during the night). The actual 26th here was also another celebration with live bands and pies being sold...however Jared and I could only stomach a few drinks before retiring back to our beds. Was great to experience the day here, however Australia Days will always feel right with a bar-b, some sun, the surf and all my mates back home, in Australia. Thanks for all the gear mother, it was appreciated by all xoxo
