Minhas estórias

Oi, gente,

Esse blog foi criado para que meus amigos pudessem acompanhar minha aventura em Cornell. Digo aventura porque passar 4 meses e 8 dias fora de casa, sem o marido e sem o filho, sem os familiares e amigos, em uma cidade em outro país a cerca de 10.000 km de distância é mais do que o Indiana Jones poderia sonhar!

Só que quando voltei de Cornell, resolvi continuar registrando minhas estórias e reflexões. Tenho muitas coisas pra contar!
Comecei a perceber isso quando em minhas aulas, não importa qual o assunto, sempre tinha alguma experiência pra contar. Até num incêndio eu já estive! E às vezes me dá um comichão e tenho que sentar pra escrever e compartilhar minhas estórias. Adoro escrever. Já pensei em escrever um livro e publicar, mas vamos economizar papel e ficar por aqui mesmo.

Neste blog irei postar textos, fotos, vídeos, etc.

Escrevo em inglês e em português, pois compartilho esse blog também com pessoas que não falam português.

Um beijão!
Débora

Sydney

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Sydney is beautiful. Everywhere is beautiful. Just walking down Darling Harbour, the view of the bay area, the Opera House, the buildings, everywhere you look you find aesthetics in its fullest form. We were there for two days only. On the first day, we went to the main tourist spots in the city. On the next day we took a walk down the coast from Coogee Beach to Bondi Beach. Marvelous coast. No worries!

Opera House and Harbour Bridge







 There are seagulls everywhere. I love them.



 Laid-back, no-worries, Aussie style - easy to get used to it!

An aborigine performing in the street by the harbour. A guy was playing the didgeridoo, their most typical instrument, and the guy was dancing and taking pictures with the tourists.

 This is the entrance to The Rocks Museum. It tells the story of Sydney since the aboriginal people were the sole inhabitants, before the European settlement. Very interesting. The buildings from over 100 years ago have been preserved in this area after a lot of protests, because the government planned to knock the whole area down (called The Rocks) to make new buildings. 


 Second day - The walk along the beach took us about 3 hours. It was such a scenic thing to do!












 On the way, Waverley Cemetery, the most scenic burial ground in the world. Right across from the ocean.

To protect swimmers form sharks and from the rocks, they build these pools by the shore. The sea water itself fills the pool in the high tide.




 I liked this one the best. Tamarama Beach.







The souvenir I got back - an Aussie suntan! Face, chest, arms and back! I hadn't gotten a suntan  for ages! It wasn't sunny at all - it was cloudy actually - but the sun here really burns you without your noticing it.
 The sun marks from my top! Bicolor Deb!
