Wow! I really like your descriptions of the Sydney Opera House. I have never seen pictures of it that don't just show the famous view of it. I didn't know it had lots of windows, several venues, etc. That is really neat! I like your thoughts on being stern with children out of necessity at times. It is true, Theodora made us nearly cry (or cry lots!), but she TRAINED me to know ballet in such a thorough way. I have really appreciated the fruits of that as I now venture back into ballet and see how well my body remembers! I love the botanical gardens sign! So funny. It looks beautiful! I also loved hearing your account of the Messiah. That must have been incredible with a symphony and everybody singing it. Wow! Mom and I did the Messiah once when we lived in B-town, but I imagine it wasn't quite the same.
