Opening Weekend

Arrived in Sydney. The flight in was everything you'd expect from one Bay Area to another.

We hopped a cab to our new home, smack dab in the middle of the Surry Hills neighborhood--mix the Pacific Northwest attitude with the look of Hayes Valley.

Our first city walk went north, through Sydney's Annual Night Noodle Market and past the iconic harbour bridge and opera house.

The next day, after an awesome journey to a re-purposed industrial park--the Grounds of Alexandria--we hit the beach.

Jet Lag

Tamarama Beach

We started in Coogee, and made the 6 km trek along the coast through sculpture gardens, through Tamarama beach and then onward, to Bondi.
