Rich is here








Rich, TV's brother, finally came over for a visit. He will be here a little over three weeks. It didn't take long for him to feel at home and make himself comfortable. One of the first things we did was take him on the Bondi to Coogee walk. He started working on his tan right way trying not to burn. We took some great photos on a beautiful day, only to find out there was some dust on his camera sensor. Here are some of the better photos. We have kept him busy doing various things so more photos are sure to follow.

Santa Boat Parade



Here is the video of the parade. Enjoy.

Party and Beach Day













Last weekend we went to the beach at the national park to relax before going to the Sharpes family for a nice dinner party and Santa boat parade. We had a great time and enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Stay tuned for a video of the Santa parade.

Saying Good Bye to Connie





After what seemed like a very short trip, it was time to say Good Bye to Connie. The Hypno-Toad helped us escort Connie to the plane.

Don and Connie 2












Here are a few more pictures from our travels with Connie and Don. Don and TV are pictured at University of Sydney in a doorway. A few more photos from the Blue/Foggy Mountains. KT petting a tree in Hyde Park. Connie and KT posing in front of the nativity scene at St. Andrews Cathedral. There is a night view from the Sydney Tower which we believe is the highest building in the Southern Hemisphere. You can see the Harbour Bridge and part of North Sydney. We all had a very nice meal at the top of the tower with a lovely glass of wine. The last two photos are of Town Hall lit up at night for Christmas. There are several different patterns that are projected onto the building and it really changes the look of the building. A very nice effect.

Connie and Don

















The Don and Connie have arrived. We have taken them all over Sydney and the surroundings. Here are some of the places we have been. A series of photos at Echo Point look out where we hoped to see the Three Sisters rock formation, and as it turned out in vain. Those photos show the amount of composure it takes to get a good photo due to the huge fly presence, especially when they try to get in the mouth and nose.
There are some photos from Bondi Beach and our walk to the Red Hands Cave to look at aboriginal cave painting. There are some nice photos of the Sydney harbor and Opera House, including Circular Quay.
There were also some minor issues with the dishwasher. Mental note, only use dishwasher designed soap. There is also a photo from when we went to see Handel's Messiah at the Opera House. We are all having a good time so far.
