We made it and it is glorious

After 3 changes in itineraries and airlines because of flight delays that would have made our LA connection unlikely, we flew to Dallas, and then breathed a sigh of relief when we landed in Sydney — no, wait — Brisbane — an unexpected detour, but now we are in spectacular Sydney.   The harbor  is so beautiful it can bring your to tears.  We toured the Opera House yesterday morning,  and we were so thrilled by it, we  made plans to see a performance there tonight.  It actually houses all the performing arts groups in Sydney, from ballet to the symphony to drama, so we are seeing a show about Etta James. The zoo is amazing. I hope you can see these photos I have posted. We are having a little trouble with the internet right now, so I will log off and see if this comes through. Love you all.
