Or are we Dancer?? This weekend was awesome! But let’s start a bit earlier in the week:
On Wednesday the bar below us hosted a Hula party with a mechanical surfboard. Awesome! Also was karaoke night – Double Awesome!!
Thursday I got to play with a dog on the beach. This dog was a pup and the only dog that I have ever out-ran in my life before. We also headed out to a bar to hear some sweet Jazz. This bar is also the only place I have found that you can order the Vesper Martini – makes it even better!
On Friday there was an All-Star Sport Competition that Team America signed up for (actually our team name was the Jumping Juggernauts, but once they learn that we’re Americans, they changed it). We did quite well and decimated the competition in soccer and Frisbee. Where we lost ground was during the novelty event, our bean bags kept falling off the cones. We finished with a strong second though and won $40 and some passes to paintball. Wanting to celebrate, we left looking for some pizza to satisfy our appetites.
After footy practice, I played chef and teacher all at the same time. I found that you can buy lamb hearts at the grocery store so I decided to see who would be interested in dissecting them – what everyone wants to do on a Friday night, right? So as my “students” dissected the hearts (a bit disappointing, they were only the ventricles), I worked on preparing a small little roast (lamb of course). Quite a nice event and I didn’t even have to clean up! I then gave my guests a nice tour of the P & O Hotel and called it a night. Saturday was a big day – a third of the abroad students were going up to Broome for a week. I go this Friday and get back next Wednesday. They had to leave at 5:50a.m. so the night didn’t go too late.
On Saturday, I made the best purchase here – a shovel! Now I can dig some wicked holes at the beach (see Sunday’s activities). We went to the maritime museum to take a tour of the submarine they have. I found it interesting, yet a bit disappointing as my aspirations of becoming a submariner quickly sank when trying to navigate the tight passageways. It was very cool though.
Sunday was the big day of the weekend however. One, it was hole day. Oh, and as a disclaimer, this weekend there were only five residents in the P & O and only two of us were American. Everyone else was either at surf camp or down south. Anywho, James and I went to the beach to dig out monumental hole – It was quite deep. We had to stop when we reached the water table. Kids came from all over to marvel at the engineering feat we had achieved with this hole. Truly a monument to human ingenuity.
After the hole, James and I hurried to get going to the V Festival in Perth. It’s similar to Omaha’s Memorial Concert, but way bigger. It started at 2:00p.m. and went for about eight hours. It was quite something. We saw nine bands and three I recognized: Jenny Lewis, Snow Patrol, and the Killers. Very cool! They had four stages, but the two big ones were right next to each other so as one band played, they set up the other. We wanted to get close to the Killers stages so when the band before them
ended; we started moving forward as everyone else moved right to the other stage to see Snow Patrol. It worked well; we could still see and enjoy Snow Patrol while being only 7ish metres away from the Killers.
I got to say, the Killers were quite a show. Dan, they could never replace you as best show ever, but they come at a close second. There was fire, fireworks, just craziness. Super Cool!!! I’m very glad we went, it was quite an experience.
Now I’m off starting a new exciting week. I begin my puppeteering training today and on Friday I leave for Broome. It should be pretty busy in between. Hope all is well in the states. Enjoy your Easters! Mine will be spent living in the bush.
Take Care,

You totally should have ate the heart after you got done inspecting it. That would have been the true cook/teacher role.
