Madame Butterfly at the Sydney Opera House! Such a Beautiful Icon!!

We arrived safe and sound in Sydney today! We took a taxi (interesting) and found the cute little old house that Bill had prearranged and dropped our stuff and hurried to take ANOTHER taxi ride into town (because the ferry was closed for repairs) to the Opera House for an actual play! We were all surprised... Bill had arranged for this in advance for us to enjoy. First we enjoyed somer very expensive pizza, salad and breadsticks at a quaint sidewalk cafe near the Opera House. The play was in Italian, so we had to read the "surtitles"-- that's what they called them! It was actually really good! I enjoyed it a lot, but was extremely tired. The girls enjoyed it too!
