More pictures In Sydney.

Here we are standing at the top of the stairs in the Sydney opera house. 

Today, we went into downtown Sydney.  Our first stop was the Sydney Opera House.  It was truly amazing at first site, with all of its seashell looking domes.  Some of the beige tiles on its roof made it look not as white as in the pictures, but that does't matter.  The House is actually made of three structures, two that are side-by-side, one of which is bigger.  The side that is bigger is home to the biggest stage, which seats 2,500 people.  The two sides share 3 other stages, not nearly as big.  The smaller side also has a big stage, but only about half as big as the biggest one.  On most nights, all five venues have performances of some kind. 

My mother really enjoyed the theaters not because of the looks, or the fact that we were in the Sydney Opera House, not because we were on vacation, but because the seats had good lumbar support!

Now, um, where's the Opera House?

After exiting the house, we took what seemed like millions of pictures from various angles and fiddling with the white balance with the bright sun reflecting off the tiles of the house.  Then when I thought it was over, we decided that we should start taking pictures for our CHRISTMAS CARD!!!!!  Fifty minutes later, we decide to take a selfie (without a selfie stick, which was pretty tough) with my dad's long arms, then my mom's shorter arms.  That turned out well.

THEN, we decided to go to the Sydney Harbor Bridge, the second largest single span bridge in the world.  Guess what we did there?......You guessed it, we took MORE pictures of the OPERA HOUSE!!!!  (Go figure!!!!)  For some reason, my dad found a super-duper view that was the exactly the same, but with the sun to the LEFT of us.  Then, we had another photo booth THERE, which was surprising to me because our camera battery hadn't run out!

Yup, it's the Opera House again!

After THAT, we went to a restaurant with a view of--wait for it...wait for it--the Opera House.  It goes without saying that we took more photographs there too.  At one point, my mom were so eager, that we had to ask the poor waiter to take our picture.  Now that is desperate!  

On our way back to our caravan park, we tried to sneak a--sorry, my MOM tried to sneak a--few more pictures.  Now I am suffering from serious lip crams, due to smiling so much.  But there was a lot to smile about today!
