Wrapping up day two....

Things I did today:
Eat well (massive helping of pad thai for 9 dollars, and a GF kabab/gyro that i ate about 2 hours later simply because it was a GF kabab/gyro)
Attended two markets, the Rocks and Paddington, except Paddington was closed. I looked at it longingly.
I walked the famous Harbour Bridge.
I walked inside St. Mary's Cathedral.
I shopped a bit. Glenn would have been very proud of me. I picked up a nice black shirt in boys town, so the gays must approve, hence, Glenn would approve. (In my head, I'm imagining Glenn shouting "WHAT!" in a high pitched voice)
Then I went and played poker. I took out $100. I played for an hour. I left with $200. I played solidly, hit a couple of lucky flops and played them well to get extra money. I was proud of myself.
Also, while at the poker table, I sat next to an elderly woman wearing a snuggie. No kidding. If they would have allowed pictures, i would have taken one.

The night is beautiful. It rained for about a half hour while I was in the casino playing poker, and now it's probably 60 degrees, and a clear sky. Perfect for me to walk around in shorts and a long sleeve. I'm going to head back to the hotel momentarily, shower, and go out to a nice bar to have a celebratory drink. It should taste quite delicious tonight.

That's all for now. Any questions, i'll be happy to take them. Again, I do apologize for the lack of pictures.

Sounds like you are keeping busy. Try to go back and get a picture of that old woman. I am sure she is probably there daily. Congrats on the big money win at the casino. A little more than the $1 tournaments on the internet. Talk to you later.
