Sydney

Sydney is great. We got up this morning at 7:30 and have been exploring the city all day. Up until an hour we hadn't even got lost. We had to have a major tourist moment with our guide book out trying to figure out what street we wanted to be on and how in the world we passed the same noodle shop a bazillion times. But we worked through it and here we are.

Our observations about Sydney: 1) People here aren't very overweight, 2) the walk/don't walk signal at crosswalks is a very beefy man, 3)one could easily be trampled to death in the financial district, 4)Burger King is called Hungry Jacks or something like that, and 5) you have to look right-left-then right again before crossing the street instead of the other way around like we learned in kindergarden (much harder than it sounds).

And to all of you that have been to Australia, why didn't anyone mention that I would be "sprayed" in the airplane as part of the quarantine before I was let in the country???
