Guest Bloggers!!!!!!

To all of Rachel's blog faithful followers--we made it!  It was one day short of a year since we kissed Rachel good-bye as she embarked on her adventure.  We landed on schedule and had Rachel in our arms less than an hour after touch down.  Rachel looks GREAT!  The exact same as the day she departed.  We feel lucky that Rachel has such a wonderful boyfriend.  We are having a nice visit with Brad and Rachel.  Now that the weekend is here nice will probably turn into lots of fun!!  Can't wait. 
 Just hours into our visit and Rachel already has us on the Bondi to Bronte coastal walk--it is spectacular!  That is Bondi Beach in the background.

                   That is as genuine a smile as you can get--we are sooooo happy to be together again.

Along the walk is this world renowned park.  This brochure says it is one of the best in the world.  Oh wait--I am reading about Como Park in St. Paul.  Truth be told--if you were walking fast and blinked, you might miss this one.  It is quaint though.

The pretty girl.  Lisa, about enjoy our picnic lunch on Manly Beach.  Perfect weather, sunny and 78 degrees.

Our first stop in a tourist shop and the ladies found these patriotic lids to model for the camera.  No more sunburned ear tops for these two.

                      Enjoying the sun splashed afternoon on the inland side of the Manly Beach area.

         Finishing our Manly Beach walk while the sunbathing Rachel worked on her photographer's skills.  Our visit is off to a fairy book start.  Many more days of fun in the sun in the Land-Down-Under.
