This journal is really hard to do because I don't know if I can narrow everthing that I've done in the past week to my top ten. My number one expierience was snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef. I chose this because I will probably never have the oppertunity to do this again and it was very beautiful. Also, due to coral bleaching, future generations may not have the oppertunity to see it. My number two expierience was going to the Blue Mountains. Even though it was foggy ands raining so you couldn't see anything, it was still breathtaking and the immensity staggarded me. My number three was walking around Sydney. I enjoyed this because I like seeing cultural differences in different societies. My number four was walking around in Cairns. I like being at the beach and Cairns was a perfect beach town. I also enjoyed the freedoms we got when we walked around. My number five was going to the Redwood forest. Even though the rain nearly ruined the expierience, the trees were so enormous that it made up for the lousy weather. My number six was luging. I loved this because it was a great introduction to New Zealand and the views and ride was spectacular. Number seven was O- going. I enjoyed this because it was a great oppertunity to do something that we can't do back in Illinois. My number eight was going to Rangitoto College. I loved talkig to the students and taking a tour around their campus. Number nine was swimming at night with my friends. We had some good times swimming and it was a good time to relax and unwind. Finally, my number ten choice was going to the Maori village. I found the tour to be very facinating and the food was great!
