A picture of David!!!!

Hi all!

So, now I have a picture of David to add to my blog. David is the middle referee. Quote from Katherine's email:

"This is a picture of our favourite referee. Each year officials are chosen to officiate the final games for the IHA ( Ice Hockey Australia). The IHA would be like the NHL, however on a much smaller scale. It is quite an honour to be chosen for such games. This year the finals were held in Penrith ( just north of Sydney) and the Adelaide team was among the top four teams. However as usual they chocked and missed the opportunity to play in the final game. David had a great weekend away with the boys and continues to carry on the Canadian tradition of hockey."

Miss you guys!!!

Where to start....

Start looking with the "My first post" on the right side and follow the posts.

My Last Post of Australia

Well, I had a wonderful time. Hoepfully I didn't bore you with my pictures. I am very proud of myself to do this trip by myself, since I have done so little travelling.
But now I have the bug, and want to go again. That will come in time.
For now, I have great memories.

Thank you so much David and Katherine!!!

My favorite things:

- aussie yoghurt (it tastes like nothing here!!)...actually all the food tasted better.
- of course the 'roos and koalas!!!
- the punch bug game with Katherine and the children.
- and listening to Brenden speak aussie!!

And why am I known as Princess Fiona?

Well, it starts out that Dave (Turtleguy) likened me to Princess Fiona....very strong and independent (the "I can do it myself" attitude. Now I do believe this would be the non-green Fiona.......(Shrek).
Anyways, this performer who moved once you put money in his box, kissed my hand and then looked at my palm. He said I had royal blood. I was related to Princess Fiona!! I almost asked him if his name was Dave!!!

So thus, I am now Princess Fiona.

So our last day in Sydney....

One our last day, Katherine and I made it our shopping day....and believe me, we were "flat out like a lizard drinking"!! And we got lost, but laughed ourselves silly about it! I still don't know how we went past the Church of Scientology twice on teh same side of the street....but we did have a lot of fun....and I spent a lot of money!!!!

Night pictures

They aren't the best, but you get the idea. There is the Opera House, the bridge, and Circular Quay taken from the Opera House.
