Summer Vacation in Sydney

Feeling the need to leave my stetle, I met my mom in Australia for a 10 day workshop/vacation into life outside the 3rd world. We stayed downtown Sydney in the middle of 4 million people. A bustling melting pot of people representing the diverse culture of down under. Realizing it was winter there our first stop was to purchase 2 sweatshirts (made in China). We caught a saturday night show at the Sydney Opera House, A Little Night Music. We took a ferry to Manly Bay. Visited the historic area in Sydney called the Rocks, and walked around the Daurling Harbor the night before the World Cup final between Holland and Spain.

Where Sydney broadcasts World Cup games.

Spent sometime being entertained by street artists in Sydney. This particular performer caught our fancy when he was able to select 4 strangers from the crowd to hold him up on a bicycle while he juggled flaming torches, knifes, and swallowed a baloon. Yay.......
