WINTER DREAM

At the very last minute of (our) American summer, I decided to take a vacation down under to experience my first Australian winter (if you can even call it that). I never thought I would be one of those people who, three weeks before intended departure date, books a flight to the other side of the world. But there I was, seven unused vacation days staring at me in the face and my window of opportunity shortening. So book it I did... all the way to Brisbane, Byron Bay, Newcastle, and eventually, Sydney. It was random, financially irresponsible, and so much fun.

Sydney, you're magical. 

 

 

...and I leave you with this.
