Blue Mountains

This past Saturday we went to the Blue Mountains. We woke up bright and early to get on a tour of the gorgeous Blue Mountains. Our guide took us to several look out points and then we did one big hike for about 2 hours. We actually decided to go off the path to try to get this other part of the mountain but we were running late to meet the rest of the group. Jake, Josh, and I decided we would just run the supposed 2 km to get to the Grand Staircase. After running for awhile, we realized it was a lot farther than 2 km and ended up having to turn around and run back. We were so late that the bus was almost going to leave without us. We were those annoying Americans that went off and did their own thing. Overall, the trip was amazing though. I definitely want to go back and explore the blue mountains some more. See some great pictures below. On Sunday, I went to the park with Chris and Jake to meet up with some Australians. They taught us how to play touch "footie" aka rugby. It took me a little while to pick it up but it was actually quite fun. I definitely need more practice tho!
