Today is officially Australia Day, January 26th.

Much like our Canada Day, lots of festive activities, food venues and evening fireworks. Deb and I will spend the day in downtown Sydney at the Harbour where they have the famous Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge:

I have been watching the temperature and weather in Edmonton sounds not too bad for January. I hope it keeps fairly warm. Australia is a little cooler than normal at 24 C on average.

There is lots of locally grown fruit available in all the stores, so we have been enjoying cherries, peaches, plums, kiwi, and pineapples; not bad for January!

I am getting better at driving . . . on the opposite side of the road!

From time to time I'll forget and drive out from a parking lot into oncoming traffic!! Most people here just laugh and smile, knowing we must be from some other country!


Off to join the celebrations in the Harbour!
