Tiffany's Australia Adventure: My First Play

I had a very low key weekend. I made a deal with Florian that I would come to the Saturday Fat Burning session at the gym since I have never been. A lot of the people are very intimidating at the gym and look like the hard core work out people you see on tv. So, Friday I went to see the MOTW (movie of the week) which was Bad Neighbors 2 and yes--it was stupid but it was sooo funny, I was laughing out loud in the theater. I went to bed early so I could be nice and refreshed for Saturday morning. There were about 40 people at the gym and I did survive the session and everyone was really nice. Florian was there and he was very happy that I came and told me that I fit right in and did an excellent job. I was soaking wet at the end and I will say, it started my day out great.

This is everyone that attended the Fat Burning Session! As you can see, we like to have a lot of fun:)

I had been looking forward to Saturday evening because I signed up at work with the social club to go to a play.

It was at one of the oldest theaters in Brisbane and apparently this used to be a British show that was really funny. There was a small group of us that went, but it was a good time and the show was funny. I have been missing my plays back home, so this hit the spot:)

Sunday took a drive out to Manly, only about 30 minutes away. Went to the mangroves which I had never heard of before. In case you're wondering what mangroves are, according to the Internet, "If you've ever spent time by the sea in a tropical place, you've probably noticed distinctive trees that rise from a tangle of roots wriggling out of the mud. These are mangroves—shrub and tree species that live along shores, rivers, and estuaries in the tropics and subtropics. Mangroves are remarkably tough. Most live on muddy soil, but some also grow on sand, peat, and coral rock. They live in water up to 100 times saltier than most other plants can tolerate. They thrive despite twice-daily flooding by ocean tides; even if this water were fresh, the flooding alone would drown most trees. Growing where land and water meet, mangroves bear the brunt of ocean-borne storms and hurricanes."
