Okay, if anyone has checked since my alert that I would be posting from Australia, it hasn't happened. Until now, that is. I'll keep this short, since it's nearly 11 p.m. local time, and Joe has been snoring for about 30 minutes already....
We've been having a BLAST since we landed in Sydney early Sunday morning. Only problem with blogging is that Joe has had to prep for his depos each night, and I've fallen asleep before he's been done, until tonight.
I'll expand on our adventures later, but here's what we've done so far:
Sunday afternoon - walk down to Circular Quay and ice cream on the Opera House pier
Monday - visit to Koala Park Sanctuary in West Pennant Hills outside Sydney
Tuesday - Sydney Aquarium & Sydney Wildlife Sanctuary
Wednesday - Powerhouse Museum and Darling Harbour
Makela has gotten up close and personal with various animals in just a few short days. She has fed kangaroos, petted a koala, touched a goliath stick insect (yes, that's its official name), stroked a diamond python, and touched sea urchins and sea stars. She's also mastered the art of saying, "G'Day." And she's now asking where the "lift" is and for "lemon squash" -- also known as lemonade back in the States.
Tomorrow, it's on to the Taronga Zoo.

I"m sooo jealous. I still just can't believe that Makela is just becoming such a little lady!! She is just adorable!! Austraila is one of the places that is on my wish list to go to. But, it looks like your having fun and getting to go to a lot of places. Is Joe going to be able to enjoy anything while he's there? I hope so! Well, have a great time! And keep sending the pics!!
The Auntie Inga!!
