Stunning Sydney


(my favorite picture that I took today)
I've visited a lot of cities in my life, none of which has struck me like Sydney. Warm, clean, and absolutely stunning. It's beautiful! Oh, and the people are nice. Sorry Paris, you'll never have that going for you. You neither, NYC.

I woke up and took a 2-mile jog around the Opera House and back to the hotel. The entire run was along the harbor. It was very warm and already lots of people. After lunch I took a cab across the bridge into North Sydney and went to the Cisco office. Great views from the 13th floor looking back acroos the harbor at Sydney. Later in the day, we walked around a trendy area called "the Rocks". Lots of restaurants and art stores. We ate at this little italian restaurant...I had the "mexican" - a pizza with anchovies, hot salami, and chili sauce. Mmmmmmmm. :)
I took some pictures & video today. Check 'em out:


The instrument the guy is playing in the video is a didgeridoo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didgeridoo
I'm tempted to buy one and use it in Layer 7's next gig.

How funny that you were in Sydney. My parent's Paul and Loanne Bartholomew are there in Sydney serving their mission. Of course I can understand if you wanted to avoid Paul. :)
