Special thanks to my brother Jonathan for deciding to get married and thus providing the opportunity to go visit family and friends.
Jonathan met and has now married a girl called Melissa. She's from Bolivia but lives in Australia. They were married in Australia in November and the in Bolivia in January. I decided to go to the wedding in Australia, while my parents, my little sister Ana and her hurband Tim went to the one in Bolivia.
I hadn't been to Australia for around six years, and a lot of things had changed. Friends had grown up and moved on, many getting married an moving wither to other parts of Australia or to other countries.
While in Australia i was able to do a bunch of things i hadn't done in a long time. I went to ManlyBeach ;), i walked around CircularQuey, The Rocks, drove
over the Harbour Bridge, walked to the Opera House, caught the Sydney-Manly ferrie (a must for great city views), went to my old church to see people who had had a great impact on my life, had a small high school reunion, and caught up with family and friends i had missed dearly.
Certainly the coolest thing i got to do was meet my little niece Abigail Raquel Coleman, ans spend time with my nephew William Thomas Coleman. Both of which not only have the coolest names in the world, but have the intellectual personalities to go along with their author-sounding names.
Raquel and Glenn (my sister and brother in law) have moved to Wagga Wagga, a town about 5 hours south of Sydney. I was able to spend two weeks there visiting them and working for Glenn for one of the weeks. It was incredible. Wagga Wagga is a beautiful large country town, with wonderful sunsets over the country horizon, and Raquel and Glenn ensured i had a great time visiting. We made day trips to wineries and country towns that i'll never forget.
Well, here are some pictures from my trip to Australia. Hope you enjoy.
