Top of Australia

After 20 hours of flying, I arrived in Sydney this morning and completely passed over Valentine's Day, courtesy of the International dateline. Faddy, the driver who picked me up, is a native of Sydney and graciously took my iPhone and said g'day to Angie and the kids upon my request. Quick workout and a stop at Starbucks for iced chai (note; a Venti here is like a grande in U.S, so I have recalculate pumps)
and off to wander Sydney.

So I cruised through Hyde Park in the center of Sydney, cruised through St Mary's cathedral the most magnificent I've ever seen), a tour of the Sydney Tower ( the tallest structure in all of australia at over 300 meters). Getting used to meters, kilos and watching for drivers on the left side of the road. The clouds and rain a
have moved away, leaving a gorgeous 38c degrees and sunny skies. I know I'm jet lagged and the crash is coming but WOW what a city and I'm ready to venture out again. Is it possible to fall in love with another country?

Still on the look out for funnel spiders and box jellyfish. So far so good for the wandering Yank.
