Great supper tonight

Jack and I took the ferry tonight and went across the harbor to a neighborhood called Neutral Bay. We had a great supper and the final bill was more in line with what we would pay at home for a nice dinner. Everything is really expensive in the 'tourist neighborhoods', but this Thai place was in a regular residential neighborhood.

We still can't find a place to have a drip cup of coffee. When you order a coffee, you can get an expresso, a latte, a long black, or a short black. We have figued out how to make coffee in our apartment that resembles what we're used to, but it's not exactly the same. It's really lucky that I love lattes, as I'm having one every day.

Potts Point, Sydney, Austraila

Jack and I moved to a neighborhood called Potts Point in Sydney about two weeks ago. Potts Point is on the harbor, and right next door to Kings Cross, a famous or infamous neighborhood here. We have been busy learning new bus routes, the train schedule, and how to que-up to check-out of the grocery store. Our bus service is not as frequent as Bondi Beach, but we have easy access to the trains just a few blocks away in Kings Cross. We bought a "go anywhere, anytime, on the bus, train or ferry" ticket for this week and have been very happy with the results. We rode the train up into the Blue Mountains, which took about two hours, and is far, far out of the city bustle. We've taken several ferry rides, my personal favorite, to explore some areas across the harbor. We went to the Sydney Opera House in the rain yesterday that resulted in some great pictures.

Speaking of pictures, I downloaded my camera this morning and have some pictures to share in Picasa.
