Sydney
Before all hell broke loose and there wasn’t much talk about Covid-19, we went to Sydney. We had hoped to catch the Penn & Teller show at the Sydney Opera House but they canceled for medical reason. We still went and had a fantastic time. Be prepared to do a lot of walking and spend […]

Geography
Not one of my strong suits and definitely not these people’s either. Australians try to label the American states – I think I would do poorly as well. Americans try to label Australian states – Until I moved here I would haven’t gotten any of it! My geography teacher didn’t teach much. Shoot, I can’t even […]
