Blue Mountains

Yesterday I was in the Blue Mountains which are about a 2 hour drive west of Sydney. On the way there we passed the Olympic park where the 2000 games were held. The mountains were a sight to see. They weren't huge like the Rockies but they were pretty cool. We saw the 3 sisters which is a famous rock formation around here. The mountains have lots of trees but there are some parts that are rocky which reminds me of Arizona. We first went to hike one trail and saw wild kangaroos; they let you get pretty close. After doing some more hiking there, we rode an incline train to the top of one trail. It is the steepest in the world! And it is all open; I don't think this type of train would fly in the U.S. Nonetheless, it was fun. I met some English girls who were teaching me there slang while making fun of my accent. They also had lots of questions about Brittany Spears once I mentioned being from Louisiana.
