Sunday we were supposed to have this huge storm, where they posted warnings all throughout my building to be inside and stay away from water. Good thing I didn't listen since the weather was fabulous and I managed to get a little hike in. I went from Dover Heights up to Watson Bay. I have now walked all the way from Circular Quay all the way along the coast to Coogee beach. The South Head National Park was interesting.. apart from the normal lighthouse, there was a special beach tucked away along the route, Lady Beach which is one of three approved nudist beach in Sydney. It is around 15oC on Sunday and there were gentlemen frequenting the beach. I did not need to go onto the beach, you can see them all along the hiking path. They need a few more trees along the path!
Time to move on from North America and travel to Australia for 6 months of fellowship!

Weekend in Sydney
Cat and I attended the Sushi and Sashimi class taught at the Sydney Seafood School. Now I know why they charge so much for good sushi and sashimi, there is a LOT of prep work with the fish. We prepared garfish, cuttlefish and a snapper type fish, plus slicing tuna, salmon and kingfish as a group and by the end of the class, my hands smelt like fish until the end of the night. I would prefer to just eat the food and leave the prep work to others :). My sushi platter didn't look half as good as his but it sure tasted really good.
