Sydney Australia - Marathon Day a first for me













Don't ever recall being in Sydney for the marathon - not sure when it became a regular event in the center of the city.  They got a perfect day - cool morning with low humidity.  Didn't want to be running later in the day as we had another 90F day.  

Fun to get out and enjoy the run and all the others out enjoying and supporting the runners. 

Sydney Australia - Manly ferry day

 
















The easiest way to get a great day on the water is to head towards Manly.  And since it was heading towards 90F and sunny there was a line and a couple ferry wait.  And once I arrived the streets and beaches were full - wow, sort of like that first day it hits 40F in MN. 

All in all in a great day to wander and enjoy a great day - no humidity at all.  Don't ever recall non-humid days like this when I lived here.

Sydney Australia - Warmer every day

 








Getting ready for a 90F plus weekend after it has been hanging in the 65F - 75F range most of the trip.  Spring is in the air and you see lots of other moments with things starting to bloom and green up once again.  

Been great to catch up with long time friends, others that came along over the last 30 years and even find a few new ones over a couple week visit.

Sydney Australia - Morning ramble

 














Another great start to the day and a morning wander through Chinatown and then on to Darling Harbour and beyond.  

Looks like most people here come in to the office - the streets were packed with people moving towards work.  

Sydney Australia - And back again







Great few days south but always happy to get back to Sydney.  Warming up more and more each day - sounds like a hot weekend ahead before I head home.  

An evening walk through Hyde Park always reminds me of the night I was walking through with some visitors from the USA and suggesting the creatures flying above were birds so they kept moving along - actually bats with 6 foot wing spans.
