hunter valley

So yesterday I went on the Hunter Valley Wine tour trip. It was a lot of fun. James, the tour guide from our blue mountain trip was the tour guide again! The first place it was called the Drayton’s or something like that. We tried about ten different wines. I tried the best wine I have ever tasted in my life. It was called Lilly and it was a white wine. They do something with the process they like stop it early or something. It basically tasted like grape juice with a side of wine. Mom would’ve loved it. Tried a lot of dry things and some red. And some ports…which is wen I decided I don’t like ports. And then some liquors. The setting was alright. It was just a room with wine everywhere and we all just sat in some chairs. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Then we went to blue tongue which people tried pallets of beers. But I don’t like beer so basically just watched them lol. Then we went to a chocolate factory store and it was alright. Then we went to another wine place and it was called something like mcgorners or something and we liked that place the best. It seemed more authentic. They brought us into a room full of barrels and they had a bar like setting and the person explaining was in the middle in front of all of us. He explained each wine. We had a really sweet sparkling wine and I liked it a lot so I bought a bottle. It was like 15 dollars. We tried red sparkling wine too which was good. And the grossest, driest, red wine I have ever tasted and it was 50 dollars a bottle. Then I asked him to try the Riesling but it wasn’t as good tasting. Then from there we tasted different cheeses. They were really good, there were some brie cheeses, sharp cheddar, and some others and then the last one looked like an herb one so I took a bunch and spread it on my cracker and then took a big daddy like bite and it was HORRIBLE. The girls around me thought the reaction was hilarious but not so much for me. It was blue cheese, the strongest blue cheese I have ever had. It kind of tasted like a really harsh goat cheese! After getting the taste out of my mouth we went inside to try other things. They had jams and oils and stuff and I tried an apple balsamic and it was realllly good. Then we went to the last wine place and it was sooo pretty. There was a gazebo and flowers and hills and hills of grapes everywhere. Definitely a beautiful place to get married. Speaking of which, apparently it’s a really popular thing for a bachelorette party to go to wine tastings and we saw a couple, one was the funniest cause it was 80’s themed and the outfits were outrageous. The place had an okay setting, it kind of just looked like a bar in a souvenir place. We tried a bunch of different stuff, none of which I liked. The last thing we tried is called dragons breathe or something like that. It’s chilli schnapps... its butterscotch schnapps with two red hot chilli peppers in it and we had to take a shot of it and o dearr... it was hotttt! We all ran for water haha. Then we took the two and a half hour bus ride back. I know my blog about this day isn’t that great but the pictures are sooo much better so keep your eyes peeled on facebook! We all took a lot of pictures! And I got to know april, Kristina, and erin a lot better and I really like them! So those are the girls in most of my pictures with me

thursday night

ok so thursday was a really good day at work..i spent all day updating a manual for distributions interns and then i spent about an hour talking to one of the head guys about how the company works and different things that happen within the company to make the company run. i was super tired after work so i watched some tv and ate dinner with colleen adn then linds came to the room and told me to start getting ready cause the thing started at 8:30. got ready real quick and headed out and then it started to rain. it was really fun at the place. its called sidebar adn we got free wine and beer for a couple hours which was good. its a big backpacking place so i met a lot of cool people. me linds, and cody met thre swedish guys and two guys from scotland. we got veryyyy drunk and then cody and i couldnt find lindsey so after calling her we decided to leave. we were both drunk so didnt know how to get home. we started walking and then some man came up to us and told us about some free snadwiches so of courseee we were down for that. we got free sandwiches and then decided to just take a cab home. the driver was chinese with a very thick accent that we could really understand. apparently cody left basically half his free sandwich on the drivers back seat so wen we got out he yelled at us. then we went up to linds' room and hung out there. we met some poeple in the hall...always interesting and yea thats basically the jist of the night! it was a great time!

Australia

Last night, after working from 9-1 then sitting in class from basically 2:15 till past 7, i was exhausteddd. Lindsey has to watch some movies for her australian cinema class so she asked me to join her to watch the movie Australia. It was pretty long but realllyyy good. it was really intense and sad...yea lindsey was crying pretty hard for some of it haha. the only bad thing about it is that some of the history of australia wasnt touched on but i would definately recommend it. I definately need more sleep tho cause every morning it is harder and harder to get up. today at work i looked over the operations mannual and am adding a bunch of changes which is pretty cool and next week i will b working and following the distribution guy so im pretty excited. all things are looking pretty good. tonite one of the kids on my trip pat, has invited us to some bar because of his work and for the first couple of hours the beer and wine are free! pretty exciting. needless to say i dont think im going to work tomorrow haha but  we will see. thats it for now, im sure there will b more to come.

Ok so monday i went to my internship and my boss wasnt there so basically i just went on the internet for a few hours and then had class. My teacher was the same canadian guy i have for all my other classes haha. then later i went to the gym cause i have been lacking a little bit cause i have been so tired but dont worry cause i still have the 45 min walk to work, then the ten minute walk to the bus, the the ten minute walk from bus stops. yea, so its not like im sitting on my butt all day lol. i wouldnt have a problem with this but i have come to learn that my shoes arent as comfortable as i thought. i am definately looking forward to the weekend already cause i have been super tired. i watched the grammys last night which was good but i dont think they covered the red carpet here! which is basically the whole point. anywaysss... i dont know wat else to tell u for now, im settling into a routine so my life wont b as interesting for u haha
