Wildlife

Today, all four of us went to the Sydney Wildlife World in Darling Harbour. It was about time I see some of Australia's famous animals up close and in person. It was very interesting and exciting to actually see some of the animals you hear about on all those nature specials.

Some of the highlights were the spiders, including the deadliest species in the world; the snakes, with also the deadliest in the world; several varieties of reptiles and lizards; brilliant butterflies; and marsupials, including koalas, wallabies, wombats, etc.

Our wild animal adventure left us very hungry for lunch - it was time to go have lunch at a pub. We stopped at the Lord Nelson Hotel - the oldest in Sydney - for a drink, but more just to check it out and so Raleigh and I could say we had been there. Kind of an interesting old place, that was. Then off to another pub for more drinks and some food. Adam and I both have good taste and ordered a steak with mashed potatoes. Hmmmmmmm...

We didn't get home until late afternoon and we hung out here at the house, played cricket at the park, and are watching some movies right now. A nice end to our Saturday.

P.S. - We are thinking of Austin and Haley down here, and just to let you know we say hi. You two will be married in less than 24 hours :-)

Also, as I have less than 3 days here, I'm posting more than one picture per day, just because I want to.
