So Watson's Bay has been heaps of fun! It's so nice to have a beach down the street for the kiddos and fun city things to do! We went to the famous Sydney Aquarium and Wildlife World Zoo!!! It was a great day! The aquarium is SO COOL! It sits in Darling Harbour (probably my favorite spot in Sydney) and the tanks are huge! They have all these tunnels with all 4 walls being glass so these huge sharks and stingrays are swimming all around you and amongst the coral and such. The stingrays are like twice as big as my arm span!
We also saw huge crodociles and they had some neat touch exhibits and ones with so many different fish! Then we were off to Wildlife World which was right next door! There they have the world's most venomous snakes and spiders, kangaroos, koalas, wombats, emu, and all kinds of other little Aussie critters! It was great!
Saturday night I went out with the other nannies again in Bondi Beach! It was fun playing pool and we met some guys with big wallets so I had my first hard alcohol since I got here :) (It's way too expensive for me to buy it for myself!! haha) It's always neat to talk with locals and I love being able to be with people my age out and about!
Yesterday I had a couple hours off in the afternoon (a cherished few of the whole week) so went with Anja, and met up with Adam and a few new friends of his at Darling Harbour for the Latin Fiesta that was going on! One of the things I love about a big, vibrant city is that we walked around and went from the Latin Fiesta, to Chinatown, to Paddy's Market (a lot like midtown global market) to the museum of contemporary art that was featuring art using modern technology and another exhibit featuring an African artist! I also love using the ferries as a mode of transportation, so cool :)
Alright, I've gotta get back to work but wanted to give a quick update!

Hi Honey! Sounds like a good day and night for you. I glad you got out again with new friends and had some much earned fun. Your braces are paying off with the hard liquor--the smile I am sure was what they noticed-along with your great gift of gab. I had heard they have the most ven--ous spiders, snakes, scary! You need to be prepared when you back pack for them, do you bring along something-just in case? I am excited to chat with you and catch up live, sorry we missed each other yesterday. I will try you soon. Love you and be well! Mom
Hi Kalsey, Your mom is a friend of mine through work and she let me in on what her little girl has been doing.... WOW okay, seriously I would give my right arm... to do what you are doing! You go girl. Your mom is so proud of you and she should be! I dive too and how cool to have your first dive at one of the world's most famous places to dive! Really enjoy reading your blog and will look forward to reading more! Take care and be safe.
