after a long hiatus from sydney, we're finally back home and it feels kind of nice. i think it took going away and then coming back to really make it feel like home here.
tonight we especially appreciated sydney in all its summer glory as we walked home past an outdoor concert featuring de la soul. we're not huge fans, but the notion of being able to hear a concert outside that's not the rolling stones circa 2007 or sting in a specially licensed appearance at fenway park is kind of nice. on top of the music, it's not in many cities where you can stroll through a park on the way home and feel like you're walking through an episode of "wild america" with the cute possums (sorry australia, but they're cute) and giant bats.
speaking of wildlife, in our travels over the past three weeks, we've seen koalas, seals, dolphins, sheep, cows, eels and...lots and lots of bush flies (ugh). more to come on our trip in future posts...hopefully.
