back in u.s.a.

"X3" was INSANE. Ian McKellen was amazing as always. There was an awesome scene where Wolverine fights "Spike" — this guy with like weird root/spear things that shoot from his wrists. Way cool.

Anyways, back to an even better fight — Vanessa VS. Kangaroo. The two were at a stalemate. The Kangaroo stared deep into Vanessa's eyes. You could cut the tension with a knife. Everyone was silent. The air was still... Then the Kangaroo got distracted and started to eat flowers. Yeah, no mutant super powers were used in this fight. Just Kangaroo A.D.D.

Next, our guide brought out a GIANT crocodile. That thing is HYOOGE. Look closely, Monique is terrified. Obviously the camera couldn't capture the sheer size of the beast. Luckily, I was able to wrangle it just before it escaped into the public. And I'm not scared in the pic... I was merely halfway through a sneeze ;-)

The rest of our zoo visit was pretty normal. We played with a koala — probably the closest thing to a living teddy bear I've ever seen. Then it was off to the hotel. We had to rest up for the following day. The "Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb." It sounded pretty easy to me. What could possibly be hard about a guided climb up a bridge? Once again, I couldn't have been more wrong...

Well, that's all I've got 4 today. I'm a little rushed. The Mets are playing at Dodgers stadium and I have WAY good seats. Definitely never sat this close before. BTW, I really enjoy reading your guys' comments. I'll try and answer a few questions next time. I'm glad you're liking my blog. Peace!
