yesterday i made full use of public transportation and my legs. welcome relief from sitting in a car for 8 years in los angeles. after getting off at the museum train stop, i walked through lovely Hyde Park which is in the middle of downtown Sydney, or as they call it here, the CBD - Central Business District. Many people in suits have lunch in the park and a lot take their lunch to put on their "joggers" and run.my first destination was an interesting exhibit at the art gallery of nsw called the "lost buddhas." the exhibit displays 35 buddha statues of 400 found during the construction of a school. they are simply beautiful in their simplicity, grace, expression, fluidity and detail. More info at www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/exhibitions/current/lost_buddhas.
over to darlinghurst on foot afterwards for a bit to eat at a little deli in victoria street. i had a carrot and apple juice, freshly squeezed and a mixed salads - one of broad beans, another watercress with hard boiled egg, tomato and another of pumpkin. followed of course by the best coffee in the world - the sydney flat white.
off then to mecca....the mac store at george and king street. 3 levels. pristine. so excited.
scooted down to liverpool street to the spanish quarter, had a glass of wine and jamon serrano and a chat in spanish with my waitress. imagine speaking spanish in sydney! we made friends, will go for a coffee and practice our language skills.
and last but not least, thai food with nelson in newtown at Doytao. Green Duck Curry, yum. Oh, and then hazlenut gelato.
and then a warm salt water foot bath and bed!
