Kites and Cliffs and Charismatics This weekend was the ‘Festival of the Winds’ down at the beach. In our minds we were envisioning the sky completely covered in kites. Which naturally led me to imagine hundreds of tangled kite strings and grumpy kite enthusiasts. In reality, it was a very orderly set up. There was a blocked off section of the beach where the big guns of kiting were allowed to do their thing. These were the huge life size dragons and car sized pinwheels that were really more balloon-like in that they just hovered near the ground. The other people in the official section were the high-flyers. These kites got way, way, way up there. There was even a commentator. As in, “there’s Julie with her ruby pinwheel spinning just above the sand with a ... read more

MN and I woke up on Saturday with one thing on our minds……you guessed it, Four Olives Deli!!! We had a most wonderful seat this time facing the street with the windows open on a beautiful spring morning! My hot chocolate and MN’s cappuccino were yet again greatly presented and fantastic tasting! We decided to split the same thing from last weekend, the Italian Eggs Scramble that comes with sausage, prosciutto, their homemade bread and jam YUMMY!!! I crave it again just thinking about it!! We fueled up and went back to the apartment trying to make sure everything was packed. Our landlord Michael came by to help us move our stuff to our ‘real’ apartment! Haha, He about fell on the floor when he saw how much stuff we had….he literally could not believe it! ... read more

Oh, hello there. Didn't see you come in. Today I got sunburnt on my face. Stupid me. I walked from Women's to Darling Harbour, then around Darling Harbour, then up to some random suburbs, then realized I was lost and in a shady part of town and hark, I happened upon Darling Harbour again. I love Darling Harbour..it's so darling.. ha ha.. ha.. It's got parks, the aquarium, the naval museum, the chinese garden of friendship, eateries and drinkeries, etc. After I happened upon it again, I decided to eat my sandwich and read my book that I had purchased at the aboriginal music show I went to. It was free, which is great, and also interesting and informative. The guy played didjeridoos, which actually is irish gaelic for black guy playing a long whistle like ... read more
