High on Sydney

We have done so many things in so little time. It is almost unbelievable. Selected highlights thus far… we went to a pyrotechnic show in the round, which was incredible. We were here for Australia Day, which is their July 4th. The fireworks were much more elegant and thoughtful than our ‘bigger is better’ American displays. We saw Turandot performed by the Sydney Opera in the city’s equivalent to Central Park. Their production put the Metropolitan Opera’s park production to shame. And on and on.

Sydney really is amazing. The quality of life here is great and the people are really friendly. An American accent receives an open armed welcome. When traveling, I usually think the more different, the more interesting. Sydney feels familiar. Yet, we really like the place and have not even explored the half of it. Stay tuned…
