In the morning, I went to "The Hat House," a shop owned by the mother of a friend of ours. It was quite a nice shop, with all sorts of artwork, plants, hats, of course, and souvenirs. I have a crocodile magnet with a place name on it...
Cynthia and Cailene were the first to wake up, so they went ahead and picked up the car we'd rented for the next few days. Around 10 a.m., we checked out of the hostel and had breakfast at a small restaurant: Japanese…
Early morning, early morning, around 4 a.m. We'd left a little late, so we walked briskly to the train, with a bit of a sprint at the end. We made it, though it wouldn't have been a disaster if we had to catch the next one...
September 23: Beyond the Genome lab wasn't much of a lab; it was basically just computer analysis, but that was fine. I had a great time with Tanya. On my way home, I was bombarded with people trying to get me to participate in the student election. I…
At 10 a.m., the little ones were at my place, all of us taking the bus to Circular Quay (pronounced like the English "key"). Mom isn't used to buses, I noticed, haha. We took the ferry to Manly. That ferry goes...
This morning Cailene came over to my house; she wanted to hear me play guitar and see if I could teach her something. It was fun! We didn't stay that long, though, because we had to catch a train. She did say it was her...
Today I went to La Perouse (a bit further south in Sydney) with Cynthia, Sunny, Angela, Cailene, and Cindy. We all had a picnic there with some snacks and games. We also walked around the pier and coastal rocks. Big waves and...
We took the train from Redfern Station to Milsons Point. The train crossed the Harbour Bridge! Cynthia and I apparently took the same train, but we only discovered that when we got off. We grabbed some breakfast together and waited…
I flew to the Blue Mountains (Katoomba and Wentworth Falls) with the Dutch guy I was sitting next to. It was a long two-hour train ride before I even got there. Unfortunately, it was a rainy day, so yeah, the view was, uh, yeah...
I did it! I woke up at 4:00 AM! Way too early. Luckily, there were already buses going to Town Hall station, where we'd arranged to catch the bus to Macquarie Lighthouse together. Even though it was early, we still had a nice chat…
