Sea Legs—52 Cards Project #46

Hello from Australia! I’m attempting to post my card of the week for my 52 Cards Project—plus some highlight photos of our trip so far—but let’s see if it works overseas and on an iPhone!

So the theme for this week is “Sea Legs” because like for all trips, I find it takes me about a week to get my travel sea legs and this time is no exception. We spent our first week in and around Sydney—beaches, the Blue Mountains and lots of time in the city—and it was an adjustment. How to efficiently pack and move from one location to the next, negotiating local transport—and just sinking into the present moment.

I can now report I have my sea legs and we are having a great time!

I don’t intend to write a travel log here (aren’t you relieved?) However, I’ll end this post with a few favorite pictures so far. You may notice there are many bird pictures—including one I used as a reference photo for this card (I bet you can find it). To no one’s surprise, I’m sure, I’m captivated by the amazing species of birds we don’t have in the U.S.

But I’ve been captivated by more than birds too—especially the people (so nice and accents so cute!) Cheers, mate!

(I can’t seem to add captions so below you’ll find pics of Bondi Beach followed by The Blue Mountains and then back to Sidney—where we stayed until (our) Tuesday of this week).
