Beginning of Day 3: Awoken by the Rainforest

This morning at 8 a.m. I awoke thinking I was in the rain forest. Birds have been squawking SO loudly... so I decided to just succumb to their insistencey and wake up.
So anyway, after orientation yesterday, we ventured into the city of North Sydney. It was only about 1:00 pm and all of the bars were full of people, mostly middle-aged business people. We went to a restaurant with a super nice waitress and ordered burgers, which were a little different, but good. The coke, on the other hand, not so good. Then we got our bus/train/ferry passes for 3 months ($325 American for unlimited rides) and hopped on a bus back to our suburbs. Tyler and I live closest to each other, so we walked back together, getting minorly lost, which was kind of fun. He found a phone card that is $10 for 2,000 minutes to the US, so I think I will buy that today, but you can only call from landlines, so I will need to set up something to use the cell phone Stephanie left here for me.
When I got back to the house, I played Wii and Harry Potter Scene-It with the kids, and then got ready to go out with the boys. After I got ready though, I found out that Tyler wasn't going to be able to go, which would mean walking quite a ways by myself, in the rain, with no umbrella. So I opted out of that. Maybe we'll try again tonight. Not sure what the plan is for today, but I probably should get out of bed and get moving... now that the birds have finally stopped...
