On March 3rd, where do you think Sarah and I went? To the beach of course! Bronte this time. And we brought our American friend Melissa along. If you couldn't tell, we like the beach. It's a swell place to spend some time. There's not much to say about this trip, so I'll just let you sit back and enjoy the view.
Here are the three of us at an "american" bar, Shady Pines. Apparently it's american because there are stuffed moose and deer heads mounted on the wall! Apart from that, I immediately took a liking to this place. The lighting, decor and staff made it feel as if I had walked into a different time.
On Saturday the 5th, we attended Sydney's world famous Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade. Here's Sarah and me before the parade, not quite sure what to expect from the evening.

As you can see from the picture above, this parade draws quite the crowd. So many come that there are people on the sidewalks selling stools for parade goers to stand on. Sarah is doing a semi-decent job of protecting our stools with her life. At first the idea of buying a stool to see a parade seemed a bit too hard core for me, but I would definitely recommend it. I had no idea how fun it was to be 7 feet tall. You can see everything up there! And I only felt slightly bad for the people standing behind us. Below is a picture of the first attraction at the parade: lovely ladies from Queensland on their motorcycles:
And here are some wanna be life guards (stay between the red and yellow flags!) I won't narrate all of these photos, but I think they will give you just a tiny tiny taste of what we experienced.
And here's what our sidewalk looked like at the end of it all. Glitter and confetti everywhere!! It was quite the fun time. Definitely the most memorable parade I've ever been to. And that was that. More in a bit.
