G’day! I’m writing this from an apartment overlooking the ocean in Sydney — in fact, I have a straight view to the Sydney Opera House thanks to the generosity of our couchsurfing.com host, Alex. I’ve never couch surfed before, and I’m floored by how nice people are!

We’ve been traveling in New Zealand for the last 10 weeks and have 7 weeks of adventures ahead throughout Australia. I’m busily adding images to my stock photo collection of travel and adventure sports, which is all housed at my other site. Alex introduced us to Sydney on Australia Day, where we saw an amazing fireworks show with a few hundred thousand other folks in the heart of the city. I’m not much of a big city person, but I think Sydney is really cool — maybe even up there with Paris.

At any rate, I figured I needed to update this blog with some new photos from the adventure so far, so here are just a few random shots. These are everywhere from Yosemite National Park to New Zealand. You’ll notice in the first picture there’s actually a climber on the left side of the frame at the same height as the top of the wave. Yikes!

Hope everyone’s having a good 2010 so far. If you’re interested in getting some info about 2010 weddings, shoot me an email! I have a connection every few days, and have even been able to schedule Skype meetings with folks.
