Sydney, Australia, September 18, 2022

Powering toward the finish.

The famous Sydney Opera House from the bay. Did you know it was double?

The Opera House’s concert hall, one of two main theaters. The ceiling was so high the musicians were being distracted by an echo effect, so those maroon panels were installed to redirect the sound.

Snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef.

The only kangaroos we saw were in the Sydney Zoo.

Not very exciting, I know.

The Queen’s death was announced while we were in Sydney. A friend got this picture of the Opera House’s tribute from his hotel room.
