We made it down under!

After a fourteen hour flight we arrived in Sydney this morning. It is Sunday here. That means we totally skipped over October 4th. Its almost like we went on a time machine.
We arrived at our hotel about 9 this morning and our room wasn't ready so we had the breakfast buffet at the hotel restaurant. Once we were finished with breakfast we only had to wait about 30 minutes for our room which wasn't bad. Once we got into our room we took about a 2 hour nap.
We then left our hotel to explore. The first thing we did was walk to the Sydney Opera House. As far back as I can remember I have wanted to see this in person. There Bob and I were taking each others pictures in front of it. We then walked over to a little Sunday street market. It was fabulous!! They had the coolest things! They even had a kangaroo leg back scratcher AND kangaroo balls bottle opener!!! Go figure! By the way we did not buy either! We passed by a store that sold Uggs the fur inside the REAL Uggs is way thicker, so pretty much we in America are being jipped!
Once we were done shopping we went back to the Harbor for fish and chips which were yummy! Our appetizer was pizza bread with three toppings. Olive tampanade, sundried tomato paste, and goat cheese!! Amazing!! Remember with me it is all about the food!
I fit in more here than let's say Peru or Spain as there are a lot of tall people. The things I notice.
You all are sleeping now (lucky) and it is 6:30 p.m. Sunday evening here. Bob and I will walk around a little more then off to bed early!
Thank you for all of your prayers! Keep them coming!
