This was my first time traveling to another part of the world. I went to Sydney and Melbourne and traveled along the great ocean road. It was an amazing experience and I learned so much for only being there for two weeks. These are a few pages from my journal that I kept while over there.

“The Sun did not know how beautiful its light was, until it was reflected off this building”-Louis Kahn

The Sydney Opera House. You can’t go to Australia without seeing this. Pictures do not show the true beauty of this historical piece of art. The time I went to Australia was shortly after the death of Jorn Utzon, the Architect of the Opera House. He had a very interesting life, I won’t go into detail about it but I do suggest visiting the Opera House website to learn more.

This was an advertisement that i kept seeing about Sydney. It was for an exhibition. Seems kind of odd…but I like it.

Yinka Shonibare MBE  had an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

This was in Melbourne. My group went on a bike tour of the city. Brunetti was a coffee shop that was located all around the fitzroy area, they had the best ice coffee ever.
