I met a Tasmanian Devil... Day 63

This morning, I woke up with a monstrous bloody nose, which I ignored and fell back asleep. Bad idea. I woke up finally at around 7am with blood on my face, hands and pillow. Good thing it’s not my pillow… Otherwise, today was a great day to explore Sydney, the weather was a little cool and yet, it was sunny. I started off the day by talking to my family, which was good, since it’s been a good week and a half. I called mom, dad & bean, like always. After all of that, I walked down to a café and got a croissant for breakfast, then continued down Pitt Street, all the way to Sydney Harbor. I want to live near Sydney Harbor. But before we delve into that, I found two great streets, Underwood (If you didn’t know that was my last name…) & Alfred (I live on Alfred St. at home). Now that I just gave way too much information for any stalker to use, I’ll continue. I went to the part of the harbor called Circle Quay (pronounced: key) and I just happened upon a little stand selling tickets for a harbor cruise… and it included admission to the Taronga Zoo. Even though I hate zoos, I got it anyways. It was a good price too. The zoo was really good, minus the fact that I couldn’t find any kangaroos. The harbor cruise was utterly amazing. I did part of it before the zoo, then hopped back on after. I decided to get off at Darling Harbor to walk around for a little bit. It was such a cool little place. Too add to the cool factor, I looked down into the water and saw not only some angel fish (I think) but a few jellyfish as well. I sat down near the harbor and wrote for a little bit while I was waiting for the ferryboat to pick me up again. I am officially a huge fan of harbor cruises now; I got some pretty good (and pretty bad, to be fair) photos of the Sydney Opera House. I’m going to sound like a real dork here, but you know how you have always wanted to see something up close, then it happens… I can’t really describe that feeling, but I was elated to say the least. I’ve had a little crush on the Opera House since the Olympics in 2000. I’ll attribute it to my super interest in architecture. Anyways, I am in love with Sydney, Australia and I’ve not seen anything yet.

Oh, and Tasmanian Devil's are not nearly as scary looking as I would have imagined them to be. Anyways, look really close at the very blue photo and you'll see a jellyfish in the middle.
