Leaving Sydney

We are up early and ready to head for the airport! All of us are excited to get to Cairns! Sydney has been amazing. We've met lots of nice people and we made 2 school connections. We met a lovely newlywed couple Sarah and Stephen from England. They are both teachers and we have enjoyed getting to know them and sharing teaching stories. We hope to meet up with them at our next destination as well. We also visited a school in Epping. The principal, teachers and students were very gracious hosts. They loved our accents. We found an award winning candy shop where we bought some fudge, caramels, and toffee. The children at the school suggested we spend our last day at Bondi Beach. It was a bit brisk but we enjoyed our walk. There was a couple from Ohio that took our picture. The woman is a school psychologist. We visit a local establishment called Bad Mamma. The man who waited on us was from Hawaii. Then we walked to a pizza place and had some unique and delicious pizza. We learned a lot about the people that work there. Our waitress was Palmina. She was from Spain. The sights are beautiful but the people we are meeting and learning about are what makes this a fantastic fellowship. The internet here is slow....We will upload pictures and videos on the Sydney page when we get a chance!
