After the Zoo, we took up Johann's suggest to refresh ourselves with German beer at a place in the Rocks, the old town part of Sydney, and then had a nice Italian meal nearby. A great way to spend a Saturday. I have to admit, as one who has not necessarily been good about taking vacations or really unplugging on a day off, I think I am starting to learn some good habits.
On Sunday, Canisius College hosted a tea after mass, giving the tertians an opportunity to meet some of the folks who come to liturgy here on a regular basis, and to enjoy a whole array of "tea cakes." And then I drove down to Manly to meet a friend and his family for the Sunday barbie... All I can say is, its a good thing that Ash Wednesday is this week and that Lent begins.
