Back in Sydney town
My dad continues to send me photos from home. These two are taken from Bicentennial Park which is just round the corner from my parents’ house:

Yes, that’s the Harbour Bridge in the background there—that teeny arch.

I loves me some Rozelle and Blackwattle Bay . . .
Homesick, me? Don’t be ridiculous.

On the plus side, no poisonous creatures waiting to devour you for brekkie… (NYC coffee cart guys excepted. no actual poisonous creature warranty implied or expressed. do not fold, spindle or mutilate.)

that’s gorgeous. i would be homesick, too, if the place i came from was anywhere near that beautiful (although central park is pretty nice, it can’t compare).

Wow, look at that blue sky. it takes a special mix of rain and bluster to move all the smog out of phoenix to reveal skies like that…If I ever get up the nerve to hop in a 230-ton winged steel box and dart 500mph across a seemingly endless expanse of ocean, I’d definitely stop off in AU. But, as you can tell, I don’t fly very well… Perhaps our collective governments could coordinate on a high-speed rail line? ^^
