Sydney.

Hello all,

Welcome back. The week after Fiji, Greta and I spent 5 days in Sydney.  Most of it was spent eating.  And drinking coffee. And walking :)


The Anzac memorial, Hyde Park.

 Hyde Park.

 The Royal Gardens.

 And check this out.  I met up with Mr. Ben Sexton in Manley, accessed via ferry from Sydney.  A number of Gonzaga alumni all sitting around the same table on the other side of the world!  Ben was my Cell Bio lab TA during school and we saw each other during school often as we were both Biology majors.  His brother Tom is picture middle left, also from GU.

 Manley Beach.

 We had to resort to a bar patio as this storm kicked us off the beach.

Snapped during the ferry ride on the way back from the Taronga zoo.

 You know your dim sum is good when it takes 20 people to make it.

 Walking between hostels!

 Yep, we saw it in the opera house.  AWESOME.

 Have a Dragon.

 Kanga's are everywhere in Australia, but we never went outside of Sydney so the best we could do was snake a picture from the zoo. You know how people's cars get totaled on the frequent by deer and elk in the PNW?  Apparently it's a similar phenomena in Australia due to the Kanga's, but the per-capita collision rate dwarfs ours.

 Taz's brother.

Greta flew back to the US after our week in Sydney.  I flew to New Zealand.  Read about it in a few hours!

Cheers,
