ANZAC day

so australians and kiwis have this thing called ANZAC day. ANZAC day is the day that they celebrate the day that the 2 countries entered WWI with the attack on Turkey. this is a day similar to our memorial day and veterans day. this day was april 25, and we went to celebrate it with about 2000 other people on the beach.
there is a dawn service on april 25th that starts at 5am. we got up at 3 to walk to the beach where it was taking place, little did we know that there were going to be about 2000 other people there. the service was beautiful, there were people that read poems and they shot off cannons to honor the veterans and the people who died not only in WWI but in other wars as well.
the rest of the day consisted of people getting drunk and playing a game that is only legal on ANZAC day. the game that is illegal the rest of the year is basically heads or tails and people throw their money away on it, so that's why it is illegal the rest of the year.
it was a fun day, but we were tired cause we had been up since 3am. so we watched movies with friends and roommates and hung out.
i will put up pictures, but my computer is being weird, it won't let me send random emails and sometimes it doesn't let me put up pictures up..it's a very temperamental computer :)
hope everything is going well and i can't wait for my parents visit in a week!!
love, allison
