Last Days in Sydney
















Sunday August 2nd, 2009





There is nothing firm on for today's schedule. These pictures go along with the previous email we sent but they were taking too long to download and we did not want to lose what we had already written. Notice the pool, it is actually on the water's of Bondi Beach. For the younger generation or our generation, the first picture is a musical instrument (digidoo ??) not a pot pipe.
We have heard from Lisa, Melissa and Beckie what they want...but what does Jen want us to bring back?Melissa let us know. Beckie, Dave Sabo already did the homework for you and sent it our way.
In response to Kristen and Donna's TV on Qantas, it was set, reset, supposedly fixed in LA by the engineers but still didn't work. They offered to change my seat but it was after 3 am and we didn't feel like moving. I kept busy with my logic problems.
Tomorrow morning we go to Cairns, Looking forward to the warmer beach like weather. However we can not complain as the weather has been warmer than we expected and a lot more sunny days than we have had in Rochester this summer. The average daily temperature has been 19 degrees celsius.
Right now we are at Darlin Harbour enjoying the boat show. John O and Glenn G you should see theses boats...WOW...but lots of $$$$$$$$$$. One boat would have held the whole commonfolk contingency (including family). Lucyann you would being on this water. No windturbines in sight. Jim O you would have fun trying to shoot your potato cannon from side of the harbour to the other. The Commonfolk would have lots of places to play their music and sell their CD's. This morning after church in one of the pedestrian courts we listened to a violinist play excerpts from Phantom of the Opera.
Will write more when we get to Cairns. Hey has anybody (jen /Melissa) checked to see if the house is okay?

  1. I wouldn't have changed seats at 3a.m. either! haha
    I'm so glad you guys are having so much fun!!!! I am enjoying following your journey on this blog. It's bringing back so many memories.
    Cairns is beautiful -but small. There is a fantastic flea market-similar but smaller then Paddy's Market. I'm not sure the exact time of it, but it's a night market-I'm sure your hotel staff will know. Its in the middle of the main mall, right in front of the swimming pool that's on the ocean front. It's the only public pool, so you won't miss it.
    Are you going to get to see the Great Barrier Reef while you're there?! I'm just so excited for you both!! :) Safe and Happy Travels!!!!
    p.s. I took a fantastic day trip up to Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation, if you have free time, it's beautiful up the coast! :)

  2. I measured one of my rings and it appears that a 6 (L 1/2 or M) will work.
