The past weeks!



Australia es un pais ecofriendly and outdoors. For me its hard to believe that They are reaching almost epidemic number when it comes to obesity.Everybody seems to enjoy walking, hiking, being active outdoors and eating healthy.


Al menos yo me la he pasado estas semanas caminando mucho. Conociendo y aprendiendo.

Just soaking everything.

Como todo pais organizado , hay un transporte publico que funciona, sobre todo los trenes, se puede caminar tranquilo sin temor a que un motorista suba la acera para arrancarle a una la cartera o el celulaR. A mi me encantan los trenes. Ahora todo es al reves de como uno piensa...
. Vamos a recorrer un poco estos dias.

Monday sept 10.

Cronulla beach. Walk. Ahi me tome la foto que encabeza este post. Caminamos todo el beach line( la cual un lunes dia de trabajo a las 10 am ' taba full de gente osea) y nos devolvimos para almorzar en el Mall que es como el Conde, una calle peatonal con tiendas. Ahi fuimos al sushi train. Y este restorante se caracteriza pq literalmente los comensales se sientan alrededor de una correa que gira con diferentes rollos que preparan a la vista. Se escogen los que le apetezcany se paga de acuerdo al color del plato. Ej. los platos rosados son AUD$ 2.50 y el naranja vale 5.00.

Despues de ahi chequeamos par de tiendecillas y nos antojamos de un helado en COLD ROCKS.




As you can see in the picture below, in this shop, you can make flavours. Ej. yo pedi una bola de helado de caramel cakepudding and i mix in some choc chip cookie dough.My sister chose dark chocolate with milky way chocolate mix in there.And that is what this lady is doing, mixing in the add ons. jeje Demasiado cool.!




Ya en la noche teniamos una cita con un amigo de mi hermana para hacer indoor rockclimbing.El sitio es inmenso y super alto and very challenging. I love it.. Mas foticos everybody!

Tuesday 11, fue un chin medical oriented.

My sister got me an appointment with one of the Gastroenterology residents she works with.

This doctor took her time to kindly explainme or let's say answer my questions regarding Australian Medical Residency program. The truth is it sound very good and Australia is far much better than US as a country. But It is just to much waiting!!

Almost 2 years more of what i've planned/

Although the perks are noticeable. Beaatiful country, people, educated, more money and more holidays.

And a better retirement plan. Pero claro yo siempre toy pensando en volver pa la isla. Siempre.

Anyways eso fue el highlight del martes.

No pics for that one.

Wednesday and thursday basically lo que hice fue coge guagua y tren y conocer on my own. This city is tourist friendly too. Once you let go off the jet lag. Fui al museo de la ciudad de Sydney(which is not the capital, Canberra is) de ahi me fui a uno de los tantos parques a comer y leer un libro debajo de un arbol. bien conforting. Aqui me comence a leer el libro The Secret, which iwould write about later. Pero tambien me he comprado la serie Stephenie Meyer. TWILIGHT, NEW MOON AND ECLIPSE.aBOUT VAMPIRES!Eclipse ha desplazado el ultimo de Harry potter from the teenage best selling list as no.1/ So ya saben...

El jueves los amigos de mi hermana Martha y Ricardo me hicieron una cena en su casa. Very Very good. Unfortunately the pictures are N.A.

El sabado 15.

Aqui fue que yo camine de verdad. Pues we went to the BLUE MOUNTAINS. tHE REAL ONES. They called like this because the deep color of the forest that covers them turns sort of blue with the sunlight.

We when hiking or, bush walking throught out the mountain trails. At the beginning i had trouble with my breathing going up, but i did it. It is beautiful up there.we also saw the waterfalls just breathtaking.

After lunch we headed towards the jenolan caves. (Im afraid of narrow out of oxygen places) so i was a bit reluctant. However they turned out to be very huge caves and sometimes spacious.

They are full of crystals and salts.Very interesting, cold and wet. After that time to go back home and have dinner.

Sunday 16th.

The sun is shinning and the wind is peferct to go on the Boat Merengue for a nice ride and lunch around the coast. We got al the way to cronulla,( even i got to drive) and then return to find a place to anchor and have lunch. Y justo encontramos uno con la vista en el parque donde mi hermana se caso hace 5aƱos y coincidencialmente tenian una boda. Asi que nos quedamos como pendencieros viendo la boda. Y con nosotros como 4 botes mas y cuando se besaron los novios, todos los botes tocaron sus cornetes!

Very funny that.

Monday sep 17th. Opera night at Sydney's Opera House. Yes i got that priviledge. We all got fancy up and headed there earlier in order to eat dinner first.We saw "les contes de Hoffmann", very interesting and thank GOD in french, so i could understand some.

yES I'VE been all around the place. alone or with my family but still having fun.
