Hello from Down Unda!

Sydney is basically Chicago in the southern hemisphere. It's very westernized...so it's nice because it almost feels like being home... in the summer.... with a bunch of artificial Christmas trees up. It's strange to see everyone in shorts this time of year. David and I popped into a little tourist trap called Minus 5 Degrees today. It's an ice bar....and you have to wear parkas and everything. It felt like home inside the ice bar.

It's been warm and humid. We did a boat tour yesterday and have been walking around the city quite a bit. We both agreed that we would need more time to spend in Australia... to really experience it. Everything here is very spread out and it takes a long time to get to most of the other areas that we would eventually like to explore. There's a big golf tournament going on this week. Last night in our hotel we met a golf pro and his fiance and hung out with them for a few hours. We are supposed to have dinner with them tonight if we make it that far.

We decided to shorten the stay in Sydney and head to Thailand so tomorrow we are heading out. We are trying to get the pictures so far posted to snapfish or something. Should have a link in the blog soon.
