Friends, Food & Fun @ the Beach

 





   Had a great day with my friend Mike yesterday. We took the bus to Bondi Beach to hang out and eat. It was Sunday, so the beach was very crowded with locals and tourists alike. Bondi is the most popular beach in Sydney, as you can see. There was a band, people surfing, hover boarders, a bongo circle, salsa dancing lessons, and so much more going on! Definitely a very happening place.

   For dinner we had to get some local seafood, of course. For starters we had raw fish crudo and calamari, and we split a grilled fish burger and a local fresh fish called Barramundi with veggies. It was all very good and pictures below! I also added a picture of a popular sandwich I grabbed for lunch - chicken snchitzel. As in most places I've visited, sometimes the most popular foods among locals are not what you'd expect!

   I'll be taking the ferry to the other side of the harbor and visiting Sydney Zoo later. It's a hot one, once again, so I gotta get in my walking during the morning hours then hit the hotel room with it's miraculous AC for a nap around 2 pm :)

                                Aug. 23, 2024 - Maui, HI                   Lately I have been asked by friends, family, and co-workers if I keep a journal or blog about my travels. You see, I recently started flying again and this time I work for one of the largest carriers in the world serving over 300 destinations. So, I decided it would be a good idea to keep records of my experiences and journey. Not necessarily for others to read, though I do love sharing, but more so for myself. I enjoy writing and taking pictures, so what better way to chronicle my odyssey!       In the past six months, I have traveled to: four Hawaiian islands multiple times; Paris and Chantilly, France; Amsterdam three times; London; Geneva, Switzerland; Shanghai; Juneau, Alaska; and many states within the continental U.S. My company offered a temporary leave...

Um Parque com Ginasio

  For my first full day in Sao Paulo, I mostly walked around and explored the area more without any real agenda. I went by the Pinocoteca (Brazilian art museum) and the surrounding Parque Jardim de Luz. I gotta say, the highlight of my day was finding an outdoor gym with equipment made out of stones and cement. I was pretty shocked when I saw it, but since I was in shorts and a tank top and hadn't worked out for a couple days, I got a nice little workout in! I will definitely be back tomorrow as well.   It smells SOOOOO good when walking around. I have yet to indulge in any real local foods, but I will tomorrow. I have some good recommendations from a couple of friends who have been here. Everything is very cheap here and the people are friendly.    There are quite a bit of homeless and I've been warned multiple times to be vigilant, not have my phone out constantly, etc. I knew coming here that it was a place to exercise much more caution than most places I've visit...
