Water, Water Everywhere

The beautiful part about Sydney is there is waterfront wherever you turn. East: Bondi Beach, the most superlative city beach in the world; North: an unmatched harbor in regards to color, activity, and, of course, man-made structures; West: a well-worth-the-visit tourist trap of Darling Harbor, with interesting waterways and sun even in the cloudiest of days; and South: I haven't been south enought to visit the water, though I hear it' great.

I have had two weekends filled with the idyllic "how to" explore Sydney's waterfronts. Last weekend, Kelly, an Aussie friend of mine (oddly enough, friends of mine that are Aussies are few and far between), along with two friends of hers Chris and Kelly, took a short drive up to Manly Beach to kayak to a local beach. This Friday, our neighbor Carter and a few of his friends, took Andrew's tiny 'quick! get to the other side before the boat tips over' sailboat across the harbor for a fresh fish picnic. Saturday, Josh and I went to Festival of the Winds, a kite festival on the beach, preceding a two hour long hike along the coast.

Some pics from the weekend.
