smiling heart...

this computer is all chinese, so i hope this posts properly.
our trip finally started.
it feels like day one and my heart is smiling a big huge cheesy smile.
why you ask? only 13 days in and now it hits me?
because my friends....
because i saw the ocean for the first time on this trip!!!!
i waded through it.
i got my feet wet and had sand between my toes.
all i needed this whole time was to get away from the city lights, and dip my toes in an ocean.
we took the ferry to Manly beach today, and it definitely made my day...week and maybe even month.
it was wicked to see derek's reaction to it all...he had never seen the ocean before, he was like a little kid in a candy shop!
it was cloudy and cool out, but it didn't keep us from enjoying it and trying to take it all in.
we will definitely go back to manly beach and stay for longer than one afternoon...but first we are heading to Bondi Beach tomorrow!
i really like Sydney though, it's a huge city!
i feel like we just hit the tip of the iceberg and now we have to go, but i am ready.
ok, gotta run.
love love love.
the bird.
