Of all the awesome things we did in Australia, going to see Sir. David Attenborough speak was one of the coolest. And it's kind of strange how it all happened. I decided to get Ryan a ticket for his birthday, but we weren't sure if he would be home or not from work, so I only got one ticket instead of two (in case he couldn't go, then I would go in his place). However, David ended up with some sort of heart problem, delayed the show, and it worked out that both Ryan and I were home to go see him. Luckily there were still some tickets left, so we both ended up getting to go. Ryan had a nearly front row seat, and I was slightly further back.
Holy cow can that man tell a good story! The show was done interview style, so he would answer questions, tell stories, and show videos. It was mesmerizing, funny, and educational all at the same time.
