Sydney - Sunday in Sydney

With the sun out things warmed up and the streets of central Sydney filled up.
Wandered over to the Art Gallery of NSW and caught this year's Archibald Entries - it is a yearly painted portrait contest.  Always some very interesting and amazing pieces to enjoy.

Sydney Australia - Crisp, sunny winter morning

Once again the all night flight from Hong Kong to Sydney.  And I slept almost the whole trip this time - much needed.
Seems like every other trip the trains get weekend work.  Then it is a bus ride in to Central and then it is a nice walk through quiet Sunday streets.

Hong Kong - Steamy Saturday

Had an early appointment at the bottom of the hill.  Was already plenty steamy as I walked down the escalators.
Saturday mornings are always interesting to see the streets mostly quiet except where the wet markets stands are all zooming around getting ready for another day.

1989 and 2015

So a dear friend posted an oldie on Facebook from 1989.
And on Sunday we participated in the Urban Assault in Minneapolis and got captured with our free beer before we got out of the heat and humidity.
So a bit of 1989 and then 2015.

Singapore - quick in and out

A quick couple days to Singapore - and now I wait.
My plane back to Hong Kong is still sitting in Hong Kong due to big storms so it looks like a long, long day of airport sitting.  Once it leaves I will know I should get home 9 hours later - unless there are more storms.

Hong Kong - In and Out

Got home in the evening and off to the airport in the morning.
Sunny day as I wait for a taxi to come around the corner.

Saint Paul MN - One busy weekend

Full week of work and meetings.  Tried to catch up on a few things over the weekend.
Saturday morning ride to Stillwater with the bike gang.
Betty and Byron and the Grand Ole Creamery on Saturday evening.
And the Urban Assault on Sunday.
Lots of heat and humidity to get me ready to head back to Hong Kong.

Stillwater MN - Fourth of July

Back in MN for a week of meetings.
Great start.  Bike ride around Saint Paul to start the day.  And then an afternoon hanging out at the lake with family and friends.   A bbq and then some sleep to get past the jet lag.
