Jeremy had another off day on sunday so we decided to go to Sydney!
We have very special friends who live in Sydney and we are so lucky that we were able to see them and spend the night at their house! The Finks met my parents when they moved to Philadelphia in in 1986.
As
Tamar told the story: She and her husband had just moved to
Philadelphia with their 3 year old son Daniel. They knew no one and
enrolled Daniel in pre school at the JCC- where I also happened to be
attending pre school. On the first day of school my mom came over and
introduced herself and invited them over for the Jewish holidays when
she found out they had no family in Philadelphia ( my mom is the
sweetest person in the world)
Daniel and I became good friends went to school together until they moved back to Australia 3 years later.

As
soon as we arrived in Sydney Tamar took us on a " Randee tour" of Bondi
beach, which is the town they live in. If you don't know my mom a "
Randee tour" is when you see lots of sights in a city in a short amount
of time and do lots... of ... walking!!
LOTS!
Yes, that is a swimming pool ON the ocean. Tamar took swimming lessons there as a child. |
