Still jet lagged

Its day 4 in Aussie land.  They have purple trees here.  They're quite stunning.

Yesterday we attended Hillsong's women's Thursday morning service called Sisterhood.  Very cool, very striking.  Then we had lunch at a lovely place called Curly's where I had a big delicious burger (that was not kangaroo meat).  We then spent the rest of day cleaning out my friend's old apartment.  Oh yes, then a quick dip at the beach.  Where the waves were high and the water cold. 

Today we headed out to Sydney's Darling harbour.  Its pretty cool.  I spent most of the day walking around and then came back home by bus.  Not too complicated.  So, it'll be a great way of getting around while my friend works.  And, I picked up near a gazillion brochures to determine what I want to do over the next couple of months.  But, I'm too wiped now to look at them.

I hope to catch up on some shopping in the next couple of days.

Aussieland

Phew !  What a trip !  'twas long, but I had three lovely seats to myself on the plane ride over, so I could lay out and sleep.  'Twas nice

My friends out of pure love decided to help me overcome jet lag by keeping me awake throughout the day. 

There are so many, many, many trees and flowers here.  Everything is so colorful and beautiful.  I'm staying at my friend's great flat in Sydney.  I'm camped out at on the futon with this gorgeous view.  I will be taking pictures tomorrow or the day after....its raining now, so it'll be much prettier tomorrow.

I'm off to bed - its 3am at home so I think I'm due.
