No. 15 on the Sydney #TimeOutDoList: Paddle under the Coathanger with Sydney by Kayak Friday was a day I had been eagerly anticipating for weeks. I couldn't even fall asleep until after 11pm the night before, and it was a restless night; I was so excited, and I kept waking up thinking that I'd overslept the alarm. When the alarm… Continue reading Sydney Harbour Sunrise Kayak Tour (#3)
Brunch at A1 Canteen (#2)
No. 12 on the Sydney #TimeOutDoList: Eat brunch at Chippendale's buzzy A1 Canteen With my ankle sprained, I decided the next item in my #top50inSydney project needed to be less walking, more eating--and there's no meal I love more than brunch. Michael and I headed over to Chippendale on Monday, for the next excursion on the List: brunch at A1… Continue reading Brunch at A1 Canteen (#2)
UNTIL and The Weekend at Carriageworks (#1)
I ventured over to Eveleigh on Tuesday night for my first #top50inSydney outing. The destination was Carriageworks, which is an art and performance space as well as home to a Saturday farmer's market (a different excursion on the #TimeOutDoList). The List describes Carriageworks as a place to experience "experimental" theater and art. We are currently in the last week of the Sydney Festival, and I was going to see both an art installation (Nick Cave's UNTIL) and a play (Henrietta Baird's The Weekend).
An Encounter with Australian Healthcare
I really, really wanted to make the train. I went to see The Weekend at Carriageworks last night, my very first #top50inSydney excursion, and I would be writing about that now, instead, if I hadn't wanted to make the 8:23pm train so badly.
Homeward Bound
Less than a week. Five more wake-ups, to be precise (plus some restless sleep on a long plane ride, if that counts). And then we'll be home. It's always interested me, the places we denote as "home." I refer to visiting my parents for Christmas as "going home," even though I've never lived in the… Continue reading Homeward Bound
New Year, New Project, in a New Place
With my classroom packed and the last of my grades submitted, furniture, dishes, and random knick-knacks tucked safely in storage, I threw a couple pieces of luggage into my car. I met my dad at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport where he'd flown in to meet me, and we embarked on a four-day road trip from Seattle… Continue reading New Year, New Project, in a New Place
Site Refresh
You may have noticed that it's been a while since I've posted more than Instagram photos, but I aim to change that with a fresh project in 2019. I've redesigned the site in anticipation of the new content, I have a brand new domain, and I've moved old posts to an archive (available here). Stay… Continue reading Site Refresh
