Cara, Claire, Whit, and I played with Blokes and Sheilas, a co-ed team from Canberra, in the Sydney beach tournament today. It was a one day tournament with beautiful weather all day and an amazing beach to play on. With all the free fruit (grapes, lychee fruit, oranges, mangoes, asian pears, nectarines, apricots, peaches, watermelon, apricots, pineapple, papaya, cherries, and strawberries...not kidding) we could eat and a lagoon nearby to swim in, it could not have been a better set up for a day of beach frisbee. We even got a little game of beach cricket in before our last game!
Our team was great fun and we made some new friends. Thanks to Leon and all the other Blokes and Sheilas for letting us play with them.
One of the best things about tournaments here is the whole weekend is typically full of tournament related entertainment. The Friday night before both tournaments we've played in there was a round of urban disc golf, usually played in a local city park/gardens. The night we arrived in Sydney was the Friday before the tourney, so we all got to play a round of disc golf at a park just across the harbour from the Sydney Opera House. It made for an incredible background. The next day, on Saturday night, there was a holiday pub crawl for a local charity that was being endorsed by the tournament, so there were quite a few frisbee players at that as well. We all dressed up (Cara was Rudolph) and headed down to Manly, a surfer and barfly community north of Sydney.
Tomorrow we begin exploring Sydney. Big thanks to Warwick, Mike, and Rosemary for all the food and a nice bed to sleep in the last three nights.

Did all of that fruit cause you to have the massive "D" ? i'm going to go anonymous on this one but i think you should know who it is ;)
Hi,you two wild and crazy guys, We are home from Indy. All there say hi and wish you well and are extremely jealous that they are not with you! We had a good time - eating too much but spending quality time with the grandparents. Jared (who brought along his girlfriend - nice babe -) bought lottery tickets and we played bingo. Now we're home and david has taken the green dragon to his garage. Take care, Happy Holiday and Happy everyday! love, mom, dad, ellen and dave
Unrelated: Today I entered into a drawing for a snowboard. I had to drink a Pyramid snowcap beer (Not very good...Pyramid has done better) to get into the drawing, but if I win, Cara it's all yours.
Also, Kristiane has been trying to get a hold of you, but I do not think she has this address.
I love you both in a very sexual way. Can you please pust some nudies?
