Walking the bridge and a picnic

Audra and I took the train to Milsons Point and then walked over the Harbour
Bridge. The constant opportunity to soak in spectacular new views still refreshes my soul. Not that the views in the Bay Area are inferior, just familiar. We walked through The Rocks and selected a lovely restaurant tucked into the backyard of one of the original European settler's house. Either people were much smaller, or they really liked living closely. In your own home, you could get no more than 6 feet away from your housemates. Kevin joined us, and we strolled the street market. I may yet return to purchase the music box that plays "Waltzing Matilda."

Day after that, Audra and Kev and I took the trains to Circular Quay, and walked past the Opera House into the Royal Botanical Gardens for a lovely picnic Audra packed, complete with wine, that Kevin toted along. We spent a few lovely hours munching and viewing and drinking. The end of the picnic was anointed by a Noisy Miner who pooped on Audra's hat. We walked through skyscrapers to return to the train line to home.

If my loved ones will check out the photos and videos,they will spend less time viewing the CD Kevin is going to burn for me.
