Jacob's business trip to Sydney

Jacob just returned on Friday night from his business trip to Sydney. As most of you know, business trips typically consist of seeing the airport, hotel and office. Although he didn't have a chance to do much sightseeing, he did get to see a few sites and take some pictures. The rest are posted on the shutterfly site.

This is Sydney's Observatory. He didn't actually go in, but took a picture since his hotel was right next to it...Walking on the boardwalk towards the famous Sydney Opera House...
The Sydney Harbor Bridge...
And the night view...

A night view of the Opera House, which I really hope I get to see someday too!!

An old coworker of Jacob's from BLL in Boston now works in southern Australia, so flew up to visit Jacob over the weekend with his wife. They had dinner, drinks and did a tiny bit of sightseeing. He also gave us a very nice gift of red wine, maybe to entice us to fly down and visit? We hope to be able to do so!
A better picture of the Opera Theater...

So, this is a close up of the building, which I now know from Jacob is made of tiles. Wikipedia states: The roofs of the House are covered in a subtle chevron pattern with 1,056,006 glossy white- and matte-cream-colored Swedish-made tiles.

Gorgeous! I'm impressed with this picture...

The other afternoon adventure he actually got to take was to Bondi Beach, which he has told me that the pictures don't do it justice. It's one of Australia's most popular beaches, where some television shows are often filmed and locals go to sunbathe, surf and swim...

My good looking man...

Apparently, this is a popular view of the beach. Jacob was saying that he as walked through some of the shops, he saw lots of art with this view of the beach...
I'm glad Jacob had this opportunity to work with BLL in Sydney, but I'm even happier that he's home! Juliana too, seeing as it's all about daddy now :-)
