Lost My Shoes...Climbing Cliffs

I've never felt so uncoordinated in my life after the Zumba class a bunch of us took at our gym today. The hour long class was led by this guy who already led a step/dance class before this one. We had fun, but I think I'm going to stick to spin classes.

We decided after the class to make today and beach day and we walked down to Bondi Beach (Alot of them hadn't seen it yet) and took pictures overlooking the beach. We then continued down to the somewhat busy beach today and as soon as we put our backpacks down I was the first one to go running into the clear water. I think everyone else was kind of hesitant because to them the water was cold, but compared to back home it was about the same. There were more surfers than swimmers so I think I'm gonna rent a longboard the next time we go to the beach, and I'll be sire to bring my underwater disposable camera.

 Our big group split up with people who wanted to go eat and people who wanted to go walk the pathway around the cliffs. Well, I chose to go walk around the cliffs, but being the adrenaline junkies that a few of us are, we jumped off the walk path and were walking along the cliffs and rocks where the water was hitting. There were tons of little tide pools and weathered rock that was like a jungle gym for us with all the climbing up and down we had to do. We scaled the whole cliffs and rocks that had water crashing and rushing over them. We had to watch out for the green algae because it was like slipping on oil and we had a couple minor slips. We took pictures hanging from jagged cliffs overhead and ones in a mini waterfall. Ryan did a handstand with the water crashing only about a foot behind him. We went until there was no way we could go any father unless we wanted to be crashed into the rock wall by the waves or we had rock climbing equipment.

 We then hopped back onto the pathway every sane person was on and walked to the top where there was a mini park and people were playing with their dogs. I saw a really cute Wheaten Terrier that the women ordered from Pennsylvania and she lived in Australia. After snapping a few photos over a cliff with about a 75ft drop into the ocean I was happy to get back on the designated path.

However, when I looked for my shoes in my backpack, I realized I must have left them back at the beach, so I had to walk the couple mile walk home barefooted. I now have like hobbit feet. We're about to eat, but if you wanna check out some photos of what I've talked about you can check on my facebook because my camera died pretty early in the day.!! Have a great night!

Love,

 Me
