Am sitting in the studio apartment of one Mr. Tomas Ernst in the King's Cross area of Sydney, Australia.
Last night Karla and I flew in from Wellington, saw the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Both are beautiful.
It's been great catching up with Tomas as well. It's been a while--nearly a year!--but we picked up no problem and are having a great time. He's living the student life and loving it. His place is minutes from the water and downtown. He's got a nice set up here.
Today we went to the Sydney Aquarium and it was fantastic. There were all kinds of sharks, seals, a crocodile, penguins, and loads and loads of fish. It's one of the best I've seen--the tanks were massive, and you could walk into glass tunnels that made you feel you were right in the water. Not that you'd want to be. You should have seen the teeth on some of these sharks, even though none of them were man-eaters.
The difference between Wellington and Sydney is striking too. You really feel like the world is happening here in Sydney. The corporate headquarter skyscrapers are everywhere, and there is a real international buzz about the city. Wellington, while fantastic in so many ways, just isn't the metro that Sydney is.
Karla has been taking many many snaps, as usual. Will share as soon as we can.

Hello gorgeous Karla and hot fiance Dave, aunt Faye here, coming to you from our new address at 10 Northgate Street in Ottawa. We can finally see over the unpacked boxes in our new home. We just got a postcard from our friends Mike and Mim who have been in Australia, and Singapore. Taylor's back from Ireland, and into mid terms right now. Doug and I had a bit of breakfast with your aunt Sherri and cousin Lane. Lane is going to do the Xmas draw as soon as he gets together with Hunter and Raelynn. Are both of you in? I'm zipping to Manitoba at the end of November to visit and bring Christmas presents! Ciao for now.
