Just a Picture Update

---

Well.. just got back from the pool... YAY! I swam 700 meters in 30 minutes (might have been a little less) which turns out to be about 4 minutes and 30 seconds per 100 meters. Not too bad for the first time I've been in a pool in a LONG TIME! Mom - You need to get swimming... it takes it out of you!! My arms hurt, my back hurts, my right knee hurts... but I'm happy none-the-less. I thought it was going to be much worse than that... 😊

So as the Title of the blog says, this is just a picture update... on what we've done since I updated last.

Surf Instructor and I
The poor guy didn't realize that I didn't necessarily want to stand up on the board... although I was surfing on one knee, which was entertaining to the crowd on the beach!

Bondi Beach
This is Bondi Beach... this is where we surfed... thankfully, there were no sharks!

Aussie Flag
Because I like taking pictures of flags, scenery's and sunsets... here you go!

Tour of the Club
Just a picture of the sign... they told us all about what they do with rescuing people and they showed us what they wore, what equipment they used... etc.

Surf Advertisement
Thought it could have been a neat picture... :-)

Christina and I
Christina and I in front of Bondi Beach...

Olympic Stadium
We only saw ANZ Stadium (the Rugby, Soccer, Cricket stadium) but it was nice and we got a tour...

ANZ Stadium
It's a very big structure... I guess to hold 80,000+ people it has to be!!!

Inside the Stadium
This is inside the stadium... there are two different shades of blue... the theme of the Olympics opening and closing ceremony that year was something about water and land meeting the sky.

Wall of Pictures
Just a wall of pictures... of people who've carried the torches, maybe? I'm not sure what the pictures are of... other than people, obviously.

Lounge
One of their lounges within the stadium... not too exciting, but it's nice!!

Press Box Seats
This is where the news reporters see when they sit in their boxes...

I came in second!
Ha ha... standing on the podium... that's the actual podium used in the Olympics as well.

Team Poles
Sydney was the first Olympics to old a Paraolympics... for Paraplegics.

very cool!
Pictures are way cool-looking for more kangaroos! I figured they'd be like dogs-everyone's got one, right? Keep safe!
