It is hard to believe that I have already been in Australia for over a month! Traveling for over 6 weeks, and two months since leaving Virginia. It is weird how things change, and how fast too. Time seems to fly for me when I am doing new things. Time at work also flies by, I have never worked such short 10 hour shifts, it almost seems like a joke. I am really appreciating what it means to be busy all day.
There's not too much to write about at the moment. The Steelers are playing this weekend for a chance to go to the Super Bowl. It is supposed to be really hot tomorrow, which is fine because I will make it a beach day since I am off work. Also on tomorrow's agenda is going to watch a stage of the Tour Down Under. The stage I watched in Adelaide on Sunday evening was really awesome. It was incredible to see some of the riders that I have been watching since 1999 when my dad and I would watch the Tour de France in the summers. I still remember watching some stages after getting home from work at Giant Eagle in Johnstown's west end, if anybody remembers those days!
Enjoy the pictures, I like this place a lot, its rather nice as you can see. In the first photo Lance is on the far right if anyone is interested!
It sounds cliche maybe but it was really cool seeing Lance Armstrong race. I think since I've watched him for years, read his books, and just the household-name style celebrity status was pretty wild. It seems hard not to see someone like that in person and wonder what is your life like? Its also inspiring to see how much money he has helped to raise for cancer victims, patients, and survivors. Not all people do such great things with their celebrity status. That being said I'm glad I am not a celebrity I don't feel I quite have the personality for it. Also being a cyclist it was amazing to see how fast the pros are, and the amount of power they are generating. Seeing bike racing always does strange things to my mind since I have stopped racing. Bikes are beautiful, and I am under the realization that I have no bike in Australia and that is something that needs to be remedied.
