Comanche

Another quiet day, but still two firsts of note.

#1 Vegemite
The classic Australian food, mocked by many Americans. I tried it on a piece of toast for breakfast and it wasn't half bad. There's really no way to describe the taste, its just Vegemite. You have to go real easy on it though, anything more than a thin layer and it will be too strong. In case you don't know about Vegemite, it is apparently responsible for the strength of the Australian cricket team. Dave even said that when he had cold sores as a boy his grandmother would feed him a spoon of Vegemite and his mouth would be better the next day. Whether it really has healing powers, I can't say, but I don't think I'll be bringing any back to the U.S.

#2 Comanche
Comanche is one of Jaimie's horses that I went for a ride on today. It was my first time ever riding a horse and I definitely enjoyed it. Obviously I'm a huge beginner, but it was still pretty fun. We spent a few minutes going over some of the basics and walking around in a circle, then took the horses out for a walk in the bush. Jon was on foot and took some pictures of Jaimie and me riding. It was a pretty hot day so we didn't stay out long.



After we showered, we went for a pretty useless drive down to Sydney to attempt dropping off the wedding flowers for a second time. I'll skip the story on this one, but we finally succeeded in getting the flowers out of our hands.
