Today we met Bert's cousin. Georgia Phillips and her husband Peter. Georgia emigrated here over 30 years ago as a teacher librarian and met Peter. they have 2 grown children, Liz and David who we had abeer with after his work. In the Am we went to the Sydney art museum which was awesome. My favorite painting was " The Ferry" by Fox. We then drove out to watson's bay for lunch at Doyle's and to see the gap. This walk on the sandstone cliff head brought us to the South Head and we could see ahead to the North Head. These are the two guardians to the opening of the harbor of Sydney and we will sail between them tomorrow AM. We then drove to the famous Bondi Beach. The sand is a beautiful butter color and as soft as talcum. not a stone in it and easily packed. there were many surfers and swimmers and we even saw 2 policeman on horseback patrolling the beach. we finished the day's drive with a beer at the local pub where we got to meet David. It was a really nice day and wonderful to get to know Georgia and Peter .
  After we got back to the hotel we skipped out again to the QVB to see the unusable clock which beheads the king on the hour. on the way we stopped at St Andrews Anglican Cathredral to participate for a few minutes in carols and the service. sobeautiful to listen to the small boys in their choirrobes and the organ was magnificent.  everyone is out shopping and eating and having fun. this city is wonderful.
