The Mires Take Sydney Part I

If you've never been to Sydney and can afford to travel, you need to go. Maybe it's because we haven't been in the US and seen a huge city in a while or what, but we do think Sydney is pretty cool. For 2 of the 4 days we were there, it was either cloudy and/or rainy, but that's just the way it is in Australian winter. Shawn's SIFE Conference went well, and as most of you could guess, we loaded up on all of the free snacks made available to us. Someone had to eat it. Hope you enjoy our pictures and we'll include a description with each pic you see here.

Guess who was in town too? Not Russell Crowe or Nicole Kidman but Lady Gaga. Who would have thought that when we went to Sydney, we were not the most important arrivals. Lady Gaga decided to grace Sydneysiders with her lovely, wholesome and very normal presence. She was signing autographs at the Hilton where the SIFE Conference was held. Her fans were all dressed in her famous attire, including the famous Coke cans in her hair. We thought we saw her, but we think we took a pic of a fan dressed like her. Our hearts are so broken!

Anyway, sorry to subject everyone to that. Now, on with Sydney mates!

Our hotel was near Darling Harbour in the western part of the city. The area has the IMAX Theatre (at one time, the largest in the world), a bunch of restaurants, a fish market, a casino, boat tours, and the National Maritime Museum. It also has a bridge to cross the harbor from one side to the other and is restricted to only pedestrians and a monorail.
