Bondi Rescue

On March 8th, Sarah and I went to Bondi Beach...again. As we were walking, we encountered Sam the Butcher and his variety of fresh game.  I was very tempted to buy the kangaroo patties but ultimately decided to pass on the offer.


I know I have mentioned before that Bondi is pretty much one of the most famous of Sydney's beaches.  Not only is it known for the crowd it brings in daily, but it is also has it's very own television show. The first time we visited the beach, I noticed that there were cameramen following the lifeguards around which seemed strange to me. That very night I was flipping through our very limited TV channels and what do you think I discovered? Bondi Rescue.  Basically this show gives us a glimpse into the thrilling daily tasks of a lifeguard.  It covers everything from jellyfish stings, to thieves, to near drownings (mostly drunk americans, figures!). And while I can't say I'm a huge fan of the show, it can be quite entertaining. Here's a shot Sarah took of them filming. Our first brush with fame here! (But it won't be the last. You'll have to stay tuned to find out more...)


While television history was being captured on the sand, Sarah and I couldn't help but look to the skies. And I think this is probably the cutest message that was ever spelled in the sky. It was too massive to fit into one picture, but you get the idea. I know if I was "baby" the smiley face would have won back my heart. Gets me every time.


And that was that. More to come in a bit! :)
