Sunday there, Monday here...


Nice day yesterday, went to the Art Museum of New South Wales - saw some awesome Aboriginal art as well as many other great pieces of art from the last several hundred years - a beautiful museum and exhibits. One of my favorites was the final art projects for high school seniors - super creative and well thought out works - Knocked my socks off...

Also visited the maritime museum (I am such a tourist all of a sudden...) learned a lot about Australia's history I had forgotten about  - fascinating and I have no patience to tell you about all that...Aussies love their sailing and one section of the museum was dedicated to sailboat racing - my favorite covered the annual beer can regatta held up in Darwin - People make boats out of beer cans and have a 'regatta' - (Aussies predate the Red Bull flugtag by several decades, but a similar idea. good stuff...)

While at the museum, we were visited by these gorgeous little lorakeets - we saw some at the park the other day and were amazed at their color (and vocal prowess...loud!) These little guys were everybody's best friend as long as the food held out...















We ended up at world famous Bondi Beach at sunset and watched the surfers and beautiful people from a restaurant overlooking the beach. Fish and chips are an aussie staple, so we enjoyed some as the sun went down. See photo...

All for now - are off to see a National Park today with a local Warmblood breeder - looking forward to another lovely day...
