The car we rented (and drove on the wrong side of the road!) It was quite fun driving on the right-hand side of the road, required more concentration than normal! I finally felt like an American driving this massive thing!

Amazing night. Chris Martin is an absolute legend. At one point he got someones phone out of the crowd and sang to it...

Beginning of the Coldplay concert in West Palm Beach at the Sound Advice Amphitheatre

Best ad on American tv!

Worth checking out this tv ad! It is my favourite on US tv at the moment..... I think you will all find it pretty good.

Watch out for the mascot!

Next time Gadget, Next time....

Damn Poms!!!!!

How is it that I am surrounded by Englishmen the one year that Australia loses the ashes in the last 20 or so years!!!!!!!!! Someone up there has it in for me....

Stupid English weather, apparently we had a reasonable chance if the game wasn't interuppted!! oh well.... Looks like we're going to have an Australian celebration for the AFL Grand Final and the Melbourne Cup. Might try and get the radio going over the web so we can listen to them both.

Good to see, by the way, that the finals have come down to a competition between 4 sides from different states!!

More crazy storms here in Miami land. The lightning was so violent last night. Thought the windoews were going to shatter.

Exciting news, Coldplay are playing in West Palm Beach tomorrow night so we are renting a small car and driving up to see them. ROAD TRIP!! Only concern in driving on the wrong side of the road! and the drivers here are crazy!! no-one actually sticks to the speed limit and people weave in and out of traffic..... reminds me of the highway coming into Sydney!

Tried to go to our first Frat-party the other night but it was closed by the time we got there - 1am.... fair enough

More pics soon hopefully! Definetely post some from Coldplay if I am allowed to take a camera in!!

Yay for pictures


First football game of the year at 'The Rat' the on-campus pub. A lot of fun was had by all.


Chloe getting excited about waiting for a bus outside the seaquarium. We all got Dolphins!!


Quite possibly the scariest clown in the world... except for the one on mtv who insults and swears at everyone!


Chris and his trendy poncho!


Oh dear, drinking out of a bucket is never good news


Yay!! He was so beautiful! I'm not sure I like how he has to perform for us though!

Go Canes

Glad to see that everyone is interested in the blog! I have been harassed about not posting!! hehehehe, It's my birthday!!! yay for me. We were at Denny's having a milkshake when the clock clicked over to midnight and everyone sang happy birthday which was lovely! :) I haven't posted in a few days cos I haven't had many new photo's to add to the collection! We are going out tonight and tomorrow night so I dare say I should have some more for you guys in the next few days!

I received my footy jumper in the mail from my parents which was really exciting as well as some wagon wheels! hehe Shout out to Janet who's birthday it was on the 2nd! I'm blaming the time difference for the lateness of that message!

A special thank you to everyone who was at my place for the webcam thingy the other day! That was soooo nice to see everyone there and have a quick chat with you all! It makes me less homesick to be able to chat with everyone!

We lost our first football game! :( It was a great aptmosphere in 'the rat' for the big game and we all had a heap of fun cheering on our side but we came up short! I am still very excited for our first home game at the Orange Bowl and can't wait for the Miami Heat/Florida Panthers season to start!!

Lots of love to you all
