Girls Night Out

Gretel and I had such a fun night! We started off with dinner at a great restaurant at Darling Harbour. We sat outside near the water enjoying wonderful food, chatting, and people watching. After dinner we wandered the shops and found a great little art store where we bought some really fun prints of Sydney! At about 8pm, after it was dark, we found a little spot to sit on the wharf because there were fireworks - and they were really terrific! I didn't have my camera with me, but Gretel did and took a few photos. I'll post them when she's able to send them to me. Following fireworks, we walked over to the Chinese Garden of Friendship - we had tickets to the Moon Festival, a light and sound show that told the story of the Moon Goddess. The show was really well done and we even got a complimentary moon cake. We wandered past the Lindt chocolate store as we were leaving and couldn't resist sampling some of their amazing ice cream! Gretel is so easy to be with and we did so many fun things, it was just a pleasant, relaxing evening!
