So far this last Saturday has been the highlight. Madellen, Chris's friend, took me for a ride around the city on her "motorbike"- scooter to us. Her name is "Lola". And she's a showgirl. ;)
We hopped on the bike from Madellen's office and rode down to the Fish Market in Pyrmont. SO amazing- this place made the Pike Place Market look like the pre-school of ocean creatures. There's a large asian population in Sydney, as well. SO, when we ordered fish and chips at one of the counters, we had to literally throw elbows to place our order and pay. But it was fully worth it. And Madellen bought a kilo of prawns (HUGE!!!!!). We sat outside in the sun and ate our lunch. FYI: crows are just as sneaky and agressive down under as they are in Seattle.
After we ate, we hopped on Lola and rode up to Newtown, which is kind-of similar to Capitol Hill. A little on the funky side, but very fun. This is Madellen's place: she literally looks like a 50's pin-up girl. SO pretty, only wears black and red, and rides a black motorbike. The two of us, scooting around Sydney in the sun to go shopping and have coffee. THIS is what I came here for.
