bondi beach!

bondi beach! this is home for the next couple of months. it is a small beach suburb of sydney with a world renowned surfing beach. most of the photographs in this entry though are from the bondi to coogee coastal walk which is an 8k (uhhh 4 miles?) down the south coast of sydney. it passes by several other beaches, both public and secluded. i run part of this every morning which is amazing! the views also add to the problem of almost running into other pedestrians.
sculpture by the sea is an outdoor art installation they do at the beginning of every summer along the coastal walk. yesterday on my run i saw the artists setting up their work! it was really neat. some of the art is even in the ocean. i'll take photographs of that later when i go see it.
also along these cliffs, bondi beach holds a full moon party once a month. i went last week and it was incredible! i found out about it from the guy sitting next to me on my flight to australia acutally. he runs a drumming school in bondi beach and he brings all the drummers and fire dancers

to the full moon party. it was a gorgeous night, completely clear with the moon shining down on the ocean. and it was enjoyable because it was a locals thing and not all backpackers.
anyway, this is were i live and sometimes i just have to stop and realize that. it's beautiful and relaxed and energetic. did i mention everyone walks around barefoot?

this is some high end gym/social club in bondi but the swimming pool is incredible. they call these "ocean side pools" you can see stairs down into the ocean from the pool and sometimes dudes even jump right from the deck into the ocean!
