Here are a few highlights from my time in North America:
1. Completed a 10K AIDS walk in New York and raised money for charity.
2. Hung out with friends on a rooftop bar in the W Hotel in D.C.
3. Went to a red carpet birthday party on an army base making carting the dress and shoes half way around the world worth it! Shame there weren't more soldiers to ogle though!
4. Went to the Univer-soul Circus, an all black circus complete with pooing elephants! Damn, those guys got rhythm (the guys, not the elephants!).
5. Ate curry from three white guys riding around DC in a strange but funky van, wearing turbans and generally just spreading the lurve!
6. Got a little merry on a Redwoods and Sonoma Wine Country tour in San Francisco.
7. Had a gourmet meal in the Observatory Restaurant atop Grouse Mountain with my Dad and amazing views of, well, fog...but we got some pretty great photos on the way up and saw some bear cubs.
8. And finally, took a trip to Whistler Village for Lunch and got some great views of Blackcomb and Whistler ski runs still with snow - unfortunately, not enough to actually ski on :o( Some serious mountain bikers were making good use of them though!
Now, after my first day in Sydney, been out drinking with my roommates to try to combat jet lag by staying up as late as possible (managed about 11pm) - not sure that worked - and have plans to watch England kick arse with USA in their first World Cup match of 2010. Just hope I can stay up to 4.30am to get to Darling Harbour to see it on the floating screens??!!
