Love the pictures. So jealous you got to see all those tennis matches.
Thanks, we can’t stop ourselves from taking snaps. We had been concerned whether we really wanted to sit and watch all that tennis at once, but we enjoyed it fully. One help is the casual atmosphere of this Open – like the feel of the city around it – and its easygoing attitude about bringing your own food to enjoy inside. Plus you see the great players up close, especially at the practice courts where we all but stumbled over Gael Monfils and later Maria Sharapova on their way back from a workout.
These are among my favorites: #35, 55, 71, 76
Thank you for any other informative site. The place else may just I am getting that type of information written in such a perfect manner? I’ve a project that I’m just now working on, and I have been on the glance out for such information.
I sat up last night and spent time reading about your travels. I knew you travelled across Australia a great deal whilst you were here, but it is not until I read your blog that I realised fully the diversity and extensiveness of it. You certainly have seen some of the best locations and gathered a great deal of information about our history and present life style.
Congratulations on the way you have travelled, it is just the way we like to do it. We would rather see an area well and experience all that is has to offer, than just tick off a list of places staying merely a night or two.
