Cricket
























Last night I went to Cricket with Lauretta -she works with Karen- her mate Dave, and his mate. 

This is what I learned...
Aussies either love or hate it.
A lot of words I didn't know and don't really remember. 
The games/matches are pretty long. 
The object is to hit the ball to the outer ring, if you do your team gets 6 points/runs.
Queensland was playing against New South Wales. 
New South Wales won.
The games against international teams are much more popular... notice all the empty seats.
One of the players is really famous.. I took a picture of him, but I don't remember his name.
The men in front of us were entertaining and I liked their hats. 

After the cricket we went to Lauretta and Dave's house and had dessert.
she told us about some of her travels and showed us all her lonely planet books. 
She has close to 20!
Then, she brought us home around 10:30.
