The Seven Bridges Walk...
Here's a map of the entire route (almost 18 miles). Canada Bay (on the far left) is close to where I live...)
The view from one of the bridges we crossed. The city was our starting point...
This is the ANZAC Bridge (short for Australia New Zealand Army Corps.). It's more affectionately known as the Madonna's bra bridge...
All of us on Madonna's bra...
View of the Harbour Bridge from the road...
View of the city from the Harbour Bridge...
Harbour Bridge architecture...
The Australian Hotel - it's now a restaurant in the Rocks (and the place where I tried the kangaroo and emu pizza)...
The Bondi to Coogee Beach walk (3 km)...
Australian "bowling" we saw along the way...
Fish cleaning station at one of the mini beaches (this one's for you Jay and Shannon)...
I love the signs they have on their rubbish bins...
See the signs saying no dogs. See the little dog in between the signs saying no dogs...
I loved the colors of the water - that's what I thought the Great Barrier Reef would look like...
Bondi Beach...
Bianca, me, and Ange on the walk...
us again...
I had my last service placement day at Saint Mary's Villa on Nov. 28th. It was a bit sad to say goodbye. I'm going to miss a few of them...
Meet Filomena. She was my service placement supervisor at Saint Mary's (she's also the one who took us out for BINGO at a club early on in the semester). And in case you're wondering what the big gold horseshoe is doing in the photo...last week was the Melbourne Cup - it's only the biggest horse race in Australia. Pretty much everything halts during that time so everyone (even school kids) can watch the race...
This is Paolina. She speaks mostly Italian but knows a little English. In fact, quite a few people at Saint Mary's speak English as a second language - it was kind of cool.
Tricia and me taking a photo with all of the walkers outside the chapel (it was time for the communion service)...
