What a great weekend

After another fun Saturday night at the Fitz, myself, Marc, and Fitzy (no relation to the Fitzroy except for the proximity of his house to the bar) decided to head to Sculptures By the Sea on a Sunday.  It was the last day of the exhibit and it ended up being a gorgeous 80 degree day.  Sculpture By the Sea is an art exhibit of sculptures.... you guessed it... by the sea.  It's along a beautiful stretch of coast and is a few km walk from Bondi Beach to Bronte Beach.

We decided to start in Bronte Beach and grab a bite to eat.  We magically found a decent parking spot, which was amazing given the number of people that were out that day.  This was early/mid November so late spring/early summer here in Sydney.  We'd been getting a lot of rain and the Sydneysiders were ready for some summertime weather.

After a quick bite in the park we strolled up the coast taking in the sculptures along the way.  It's one of the things I find really neat about Sydney - the city is very art friendly and finds really interesting ways to share art with the public.  Besides the fact that the views are breathtaking along the sea, there were some pretty neat sculptures as well.  Now, don't get me wrong, there were definitely a few that I was clearly not cool enough to appreciate, but there were quite a few that I liked as well.  Here are some of my favorites:

Check out that view!  That's  Bondi Beach

And here are a few pictures of the sea:

Now how to end such a lovely, Sunday?  Well, you gotta stop in the Fitz for a cheeky pint, right?!

One of the great things about my apartment is that it's walking distance to The Fitzroy.  We dropped off my car, and had a leisurely walk towards The Old Fitzroy.  The Fitzroy is in the Wooloomooloo area of Sydney.  This is one of the signs along the walk.  It's not the greatest picture,  but I just love this sign....

And that's how you pronounce Wooloomooloo

The other nice thing about the walk is that at this time of year there are these trees with bright purple flowers all over the city.  Fitzy actually took this picture along the walk that day and it's one of my favorites of the day:

And that's that.  A beautiful day, some art, and a pint or two.  What a great weekend.
