You're right, it does look like sails; sails that have just picked up a wonderful breeze off the ocean and is ready to set sail and see the world. It is as recognizable as the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty.<br /><br />I would love to visit Australia and hang out with two of my favorite blogging friends who live there.<br /><br />I looked back at your last post and that little boy dancing to the didgeridoo was hysterical, he was really getting the groove going!Shellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-80841402762768782472011-03-10T11:20:52.978-05:002011-03-10T11:20:52.978-05:00Pat. ..it is so amazing how we instantly recogniz...Pat. ..it is so amazing how we instantly recognize structures around the world for their unique construction designs.

The plane ride was a bit more doable.<br /><br />That view is wonderful, and it looks like you chose a lovely time of year to be there. I love that seafood restaurant that overlooks that scene.<br /><br />I wanted to live there when we were in Asia. I put koala bears all over our flat in Hong Kong and lit candles. Didn't work, sigh. I hope that we can get back again soon.<br /><br />I hope you have a fabulous time, but of course you will. YOU'RE IN SYDNEY!<br /><br />Karen<br /><br />P.S.
