Listening to: 4 Non Blondes ~ Morphine & Chocolate

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Hopefully everyone has recovered from the holiday festivities and life is getting a little more back to normal.

I have been missing getting settled in Sydney Australia. I left California on the 4th and arrived here on the 6th.

The night before I flew out I went with friends to see Acoustic Hot Tuna ( Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Cassidy from Jefferson Airplane) at the Fillmore in San Francisco...a fantastic show as always. The bass that Jack Cassidy plays is interesting and the sound the two produce together acoustically creates a fantastic embryonic listening journey. Jorma's finger picking style produces the sound of a dozen guitars, while Jack delivers a powerful bass line like a lead guitar. Always a treat, and an especially great send off.

Enough of my rambling.

Here is the view from my Sydney apartment. I have a sliver view of the harbor.

I have a small outdoor balcony. When the door is open I hear the traffic, otherwise it's fairly quite. The birds go crazy at dusk.

More and more these serviced apartments are starting to look alike no matter where I am in the world.

I brought my own yoga mat, and I've started doing yoga every day since I've arrived (yeah, I know it's only 3 days, but it's a start).

I'm going on a day trip tomorrow around Sydney and a lunch cruise on the harbor. Now my dilemma is..do I finish posting the Africa trip photos or start interspersing the Australia photos?

Check back and you'll find out!
