View of the Sydney Skyline
As we headed to Taronga Zoo, this is the view we were treated to. I love ferry rides!
Mr. Jones the Kangaroo
This was the COOLEST KANGAROO EVER. His name is Mr. Jones and he is the biggest kangaroo at the zoo. I am kind of obsessed with him.
Nick and I
Nick and I in front of the zoo sign, which has a cute picture of a platypus...too bad we couldn't actually SEE any in the zoo.
I'm too tall
I'm too tall to play in the little kids section of the Powerhouse museum...oh well. :(
View from the apartment
This is the view of the city from the apartment my mom and brother are staying in. How ridiculous is this view - I could stand out on their balcony forever!
Cute seal
I LOVE SEALS!!!! This is from the aquarium at Darling Harbour.
Koala!
How cute is this koala? This was at a wildlife park we visited on our way to the Blue Mountains.
Kangaroo
Yes, that is me actually touching a kangaroo.
Three Sisters
Here I am in front of the famous Three Sisters of the Blue Mountains!

I like the roo
Cool roo (Mr. Jones I mean). I thought they roamed all over the place (that's what we're told here in the US). Guess they're only in the outback and the zoo, huh? You are having "way too much fun!" We're not hearing about your university courses. ;-) You'll learn more outside of the uni anyway. Keep having fun.
