Besides trying to get our sleep right (I was up at 5am but Abby is still sleeping!) we've been trying to get out to see the city. We walked down to Cockle Bay Wharf on Friday. It was a cloudy day but they were having a boat show so there were a ton of sailboats to look at. We ate outside at a restaurant right on the wharf. Even though it is "winter" here the weather has been amazing...at least we think so! Sydneysiders are all in winter coats and scarves saying that the weather is terrible while we are walking around in t-shirts. It's been between 65 and 70 degrees so perfect weather for a t-shirt, not a winter coat!
We've made it to the food store a couple of times and most things look surprisingly familiar. They have alot of the same brands and some that are just slightly different, like rice bubbles instead of rice krispies or apple puree instead of applesauce.
We walked over to Hyde Park and the Botanic Gardens yesterday and got our first glimpse of the opera house and the Harbour bridge. It's crazy to see it in person when I've seen so many pictures of it. I still can't believe we are here. We saw (and heard!) a ton of different birds which Abby loved.
As for normal life stuff we are getting things figured out. We are now able to access our money...whew! We are working on getting our cell phones up and working we have been able to pay our US bills online and the list goes on and on. I won't bore you with those details though.
I would love to post some pictures but our internet is so slow! I will save time for that later today.
