Always enjoy the walk across the harbour bridge. As I come down the stairs on the north side I am in my old neighborhood. I lived on both sides of the highway and walked further up the hill work in North Sydney. An area that continues to grow and evolve - bigger and bigger.
Yesterday, hopped on a bus and headed off to another area I used to spend lots of time - northern beaches. I now that route well. Great to hang with my great friend Richard as he is recovering from a recent fall.
Cool spring days so far - sounds like it might heat up a bit before I head home.
Lots of old favorite spots to wander towards and see how they have changed. Seems like Sydney has bounced back a whole lot better than most USA cities I have experienced. Great to see - hope for all.
Been great to reconnect with many old and newer friends - last visit pre-covid in 2019.
Wow, I forgot how much I feel at home and enjoy being in Sydney. After my miss last year with an airline meltdown at the airport it is great to be back.
On the edge winter to spring it is crisp in the AM and cools down once again in the evening. My kind of weather.
Interesting morning at customs and immigration this trip but finally got through and got so delayed had to do a recon job to find my bag that had been taken off the luggage rack. And then I arrived and all that went away.
And it is great to see people on the streets, public transportation and at the pubs at the end of the day - reminds me how far we still have to go in the USA.
Busy week - fair day with Margie, Maura and Bill. And then celebrated Jim Dolan turning 68. And finally the weekend arrived. Good bike rides and the usual dinner with the usual suspects. And we had Lizzie in town as well - and I heard Lauren was around but didn't get to make that connection this time.
Too busy enjoying it all I forgot to get the phone out and capture a few moments.
