Hello Mates!

I am now planted in Sydney for the moment. I leave for Kuala Lumpur on Thursday. Sydney is quite nice, very warm and friendly people. I have been exploring the city on foot and feel like I have walked about 50 miles the last 2 days. I was standing on the Sydney harbour Bridge looking out over the harbour and the Sydney Opera House still amazed that I am seeing these things that I normally would be seeing on TV, teh internet, or postcards. I will have some new pics soon.

I am off to explore the Blue Mountains tomorrow - which has Australia's grand canyon. I have met some cool mates here and they have been showing me around town. I just finished watching the SUper Bowl a few hours ago - quite popular here as well.

Thanks all for keeping in touch. I continue to be grateful for the opportunity to take this trip. I am NOT missing what appears to be a bad streak of winter.

I hope all is well with you.

Jeff
