Last of Australia

Our last night in Australia, we decided to do it up right and head out on the town to see a performance at the Opera House. The building that graced the Sydney skyline for us the past month was going to be experienced and viewed internally! We put Ella to bed over at the Cameron's house and headed out. It was a Friday, and the night life was in full swing. We felt alive and free just wandering the streets hand in hand. Here was our destination as we approached....

We saw a performance of Beethoven, Barber's Adagio, and a minimalist composition by John Adams called Harmonium, which included a massive choir. Barber's Adagio was Amy's favorite. The inside of the opera house (there are several auditoriums inside) was beautiful as you can see....

Right as we were walking out of the performance, we got a call from our friends Paul and Alyssa. They happened to be downtown and wanted to meet up for a drink. They ended up taking us to such a neat place! It was a bar downtown at the top of a tall building, and the bar rotated so you got beautiful panoramic views of the city. Here is Jason with Paul....

And Amy with Alyssa....

Here we are with a really pretty skyline in the background that you can't see is there....

And after a super classy evening of Beethoven and swanky night life, we were hungry and needed food for the train ride home....

The next day we flew at 10 PM, so we spent the day packing and hanging out with the Stevens. We got to go see Kit play a soccer game and see his school. Ella had lots of fun playing with her new Aussie pals....

I love this shot of the soccer star himself with Ella and her wind blown hair. :)

Ella found out on her last day at the Stevens that she loves the trampoline in their backyard.

And here is a final shot of the Stevens backyard....this home was such a gift to us, and is a blessing to so many. Thank you, mates!
