Weekend Warriors, Part 2

On Sunday, we started the day going to a car show. This was down the street from us and we got to see some cars made in Australia and some from the states. It was weird seeing the steering wheel on the left; for the past week I have wanted to get in on the opposite side of a car.

The ONLY car to go to an Ohio Football game in!

We then ventured downtown to see the Opera House. We took the bus to catch a train and finally a ferry. We were able to travel on the harbor to see the exquisite building.  The architect of Sydney Opera House, Jørn Utzon, was a relatively unknown 38-year-old Dane in January 1957 when his entry was announced winner of the international competition to design a ‘national opera house’ for Sydney’s Bennelong Point. His vision for a sculptural, curved building on the Harbor broke radically with the cube and rectangular shapes of modernist architecture.

The ferry took us to Manley, AUS. The water on the beach was so clear that you can see the ripples in the sand at the bottom. We ate on the pier, watching boats, people, and birds.
