More Markets!

After spending the morning in service in arguably one of the nicest areas in Sydney, at the tip of Balmain Peninsula, we went to the local market up the street from Rigby's for some lunch. But we weren't finished going to markets.

This afternoon, Laura, Raleigh, and I hopped on a ferry to Circular Quay, then a short walk to The Rocks, where we went to their markets down there. It was definitely more arts and crafts then Paddy's which is like a hodgepodge. We saw plenty of neat and interesting things, and we made an afternoon out of it. By 16:00 it started to rain (it was overcast, humid and not below 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit), but it was actually refreshing.

We had an excellent dinner. We had grilled leg of lamb with potatoes and squash. It was lip smackin' good!

How boring! A picture of me. Oh wait, the Coat hanger and Opera House are in there too! Taken from the ferry en route to Circular Quay.

All right. Enough of your hoitie-toitie quisine. Get up on that Harbour bridge! And I'll reimburse the cost for both of you. NOW THERE'S AN OFFER YOU CAN'T REFUSE.

Did you get any thing? All those interesting shops hopefully you found something. One thing is for sure is that you seem to be eating quite well. And I would take dad up on his offer for sure.

Did you have any puppy and kitten on the side with that lamb? I'm with your dad, you need go to the top of the bridge. Really though, sounds like your having fun, and I'm extremely jealous (in a good way of course).
