General notes:
- This is the first time I've crossed the International Date Line, and I'm continually confused what date it is
- Also confounding me is the whole driving-on-the-other-side-of-the-road-thing. Every time we get into the car, I have to think about which side to get in. Also, it kind of freaks me out when making big turns...
- It's really cold here! Not snow/Chicago cold, but coming from Hawaii it's quite cruel.
Highlights from Saturday:
- DH going surfing
- Seeing the bridge and the Opera House from several viewpoints
- Visiting the Watson Naval Base and checking out the gorgeous chapel
- Having afternoon tea with Fiona's mom and stepdad
- Watching an Australian team beat the New Zealand team in a game of rugby (a big deal for Australia - and no, I still don't really understand rugby)
Highlights from Sunday:
- Going shopping at the market at the Rocks (the historical part of downtown)
- Seeing the Opera House up close
- Taking the ferry across the harbor
I'm really not sure how to upload pictures... I can't get wireless here, plus my battery is running low (different electrical system here)... Hmmm. I'll have to work on it. Maybe when we go to Melbourne.

if you can, go to Lighting Ridge and check out the opals. I know its a drive. My aunt and uncle live there and own an opal shop.
