Shark Week(end)

Today we made it over to the Syndey Aquirium, which is right next to Wildlife World in Darling Harbor.  We figured since it was cloudy out (WTF?  One of the main reasons for us moving here was better weather), we would head down early to beat all the families with children.  Turns out, by "families with children" we mean "asian tourists" (they're EVERYWHERE and come by the bus load).  When not swarmed by mobile-Chinatown, we were able to see some really neat fish, sharks and the famous "sea cows" (a.k.a. dugongs), Pig and Wuru.

 Dory, from Finding Nemo, made a guest appearance.

The best part about the aquarium were the giant fish tanks that had a glass tunnel to walk through so the fish would be swimming over your head.

And, what better way to end a day of admiring sea life than by eating it?  After the aquarium we went down to the Sydney Fish Market.  We ate some fresh (and delicious) osyters and sushi while overlooking the harbor and watching people fend off sea-gulls from their food.

Lastly, we'll leave you with a picture of Mark striking the "asian tourist pose".

For some reason they're big into the double peace sign (a.k.a the Nixon)

This blog post is in honor of our dear friend's fish, Roger, who just passed. RIP Roger.
