I know what your thinking -- are we actually working in Sydney, or just lounging around, basking in the sun? Rest assured, with under 70 days to go before WYD , the pace at the office is quite furious and I will update everyone soon enough.
In the meantime, we are enjoying the few weekends we have before they include time at the office (which we know is coming). Saturday's trip was just a short walk down the street to the zoo, which is about 100 years old and just spectacular. Of course, I took plenty of pictures, but not just of what was in cages, but of what was in the surrounding environment as the sights and sounds of the Australian habitat are unlike any I have seen.
The local birds are quite bold -- not just in color, but in attitude. These two guys were trying to steal our lunch.
We have spiders too. BIG ones, and they are everywhere, and we are told (like everything here), poisonous. In fact, in the Australian exhibits, there is usually a line that reads something like "one of the deadliest in the world."Morgan loves birds, so a must-see what the bird show, which I have to say, was worth the wait. Everything was timed as birds flew in on cue in the exact direction they were told. Amazing. Parrots, owls, eagles and others flew right over our heads (like inches over) and even perched themselves on folks in the crowd. Quite fitting, we thought, for the eve of Pentecost!
Until next time, blessings and G'Day!
