First couple days

Hello all,

We've arrived safely and have been very, very busy! We have discovered upon our arrival that Sydney is an expensive city so we will probably limit our time here. But, we have been exploring the city non-stop since we got here. Walking many, many miles.

We saw the opera house and old city, aka the rocks. We walked over the big bridge which is about 1/2 mile in each direction. Yesterday we went to the zoo and got our picture taken with a koala beer!! It was so cool and saw lots of other crazy animals. Today we might go to the aquarium. Then pherhaps off to Bondi beach which is supposed to be beautiful!

Among the big differences between this country and the US is that everybody drives on the wrong side of the road. which makes is sort of dangerous to walk around when you are used to looking right to see if traffic is coming. Yesterday we saw a cab driver cut off a man on a bicycle and the man proceeded to threaten the cab driver with his U-shaped bicycle lock (a very threatening sight indead).

As more of these great sights approach us we will be sure to share.

And we're off!!

We leave for Sydney today at 6:00pm!! EEEEeeeeee! Next time we post we will be many, many much miles away. :) Everyone take care and ttys. The next picture will hopefully be of a koala bear or Kangaroo!!
