Featherdale then Opera in the Park
This morning we headed to the Featherdale Wildlife Park located 45 minutes outside of Sydney. While not San Diego Zoo, it was a great experience. Highlights included petting a koala, feeding kangaroos, and getting an up-close look at various other species. Head over and take a look at the pictures.
In the late afternoon I met up with Em at the Opera House and we headed over to where Stacey had been saving a place for us in the Domain in the Botanical Gardens where a free outdoor opera showing of Madame Butterfly was talking place tonight. The park was absolutely packed with people and there was an incredible audio and visual system set up as the stage was too far away to make out everything. It was my first opera and I definitely liked it. Truthfully, though, instead of following the story line by line as they translated the Italian into English on huge screens above the stage, I just laid back and looked at the stars and listened to the music. Em filled me in periodically as to what was going on.
