Just hanging out...

On Sunday we decided to go into the CBD, just for fun. T wanted to check out a bookstore his colleague recommended, and I was just happy to be going out and about!

T was also very happy.

Our first stop was the QVB, which is one of my favorite buildings in Sydney. Every time I go there, I am reminded how lovely it is!

There's nothing we can afford to buy in the shops in the QVB, but I love just being in the building and looking around!

Then we walked down the street just a bit, heading toward the bookstore. I love being in the CBD because nearly every time I notice something new. This time it was the colored glass panel in this alley.

The bookstore we went to is called Kinokuniya. It's part of a Japanese-based chain. It has lots of typical bookstore sections, and also a lot of Asian texts and art supplies. It's a pretty interesting place for wandering around!

On a whim, we decided to go check out a new chocolate shop that had opened in the city before we went home. On the same whim, we decided we should try the degustation plate. It was lovely and delicious, but we didn't come close to finishing it but did manage to make ourselves feel disgusting!

In a solid sugar coma, we headed home for an afternoon nap!
