A day in the City

Yesterday was a great day: We went to the city - went to the Sydney Aquarium and we visited the sisters (Missionaries of Charity nuns) too!!!! We also stopped in 2 Comic bookstores... (guess why!!)

The Aquarium was really nice: seals, sharks, giant turtles, coral reef, a wide variety of fish - really nice. I was impressed most by the turtle and seals... turtle mainly... maybe its because I hadn't yet seen one so close and so big! Brendon liked the Platypus most... it's his favourite animal.

And the visit to the sisters was TAL-GENN!! aahh i really needed to see some familiar faces... well not exactly cos I dont know them but at least an environment that I'm familiar with. They have a kitchen soup every morning (I hope to go some day and give a helping hand) and they visit people in their homes. That's their main apostolate.

We really walked a lot. We both were exhausted by the end of it.

Today we had a restful day. Woke up late, prayed, had lunch, read for a while, and prepared some things we need for a 2-day hike we're planning for this coming week. It's a 28km Coast walk. We'll see how it goes. ;) Now I'm off for a swim and then for the 6pm Sunday Youth mass.
