We got back to our Aussie home a week ago Saturday. It was a long flight home, with a long layover in Singapore, but we made it safe and sound! We had all weekend to try and get back on Sydney time, but it probably took me until Thursday until I stayed awake past 9 PM. I guess I'm getting old!
It's solidly springtime weather here, but I get the feeling that the city is willing it to turn into full-on summer. There have been a couple cool mornings, and these tender Sydneysiders wrap up in coats and scarves like they're about to die. But it was a warm sunny day on Saturay, and it was shorts, sunnies, and sun dresses as far as the eye can see!
I went to a small birthday gathering for a new co-worker on Saturday. He's new here from Germany and so he wanted to have an Aussie barbeuqe on the beach for his celebration in true Aussie style. Unfortunately, it was at Bondi Beach, which any true Aussie avoids at any cost on a sunny Saturday, especially when the Sculptures by the Sea exhibition is on. Tourists, ugh! ;-) But many of us were good sports and made the trek out.

The forecasted thunderstorms had started to roll in by the time I arrived, but the disappearance of the sun and the arrival of a cold wind was stopping none of these beachgoers!
Lured by the cool breeze and the storm clouds coming up, Toby braved the Saturday crowds and met me at Beach Burrito Co. This consistently has been the place people have told us to try for Mexican food if the other places in Sydney have disappointed us.
And while we had a good time and were happy we tried it, sadly, we've not found our True Mexican Food source. We think we might be done with the search and just save our funds so we can eat proper Mexican food 24x7 next time we're in the States!
