Sydney, Australia

We have been very busy since we arrived in Sydney. It has been sunny and warm with an occasional light shower, not to interfere with any activities.
The opera house, the Aquarium and the Sydney Harbor and bridge are simply amazing. We have all had a great time. We are learning a lot about how other countries operate, what works and what doesn't. According to our guide everything is bigger better and first here in Australia, however I think he is a little biased!

We ran into Cindy Ridgeway and Ron Fair twice in Cairns and then at the airport on our way to Sidney. Had a quick nice visit. They are having fun as well. We all made it out of the Cairns airport before the Cyclone came through, but had some torential rain prior to take off. Much relieved after arriving in Sydney, have had no further weather problems.

Tomorrow we leave for New Zealand. They say it is less expensive there and also cooler. We are prepared for both!!! Will attach a couple of pictures. Hope the ice has melted and that there is a hint of warm air in your area as I will be sending some along with these photos!!!

Love to all, God bless, and we are one third through our trip!
