Nephew Mark & Coastal Walk and Fountain


Proir to leaving San Francisco, we were able to meet Mark in the Mission District for coffee. He was able to take an extended coffee break from his job, thanks Mark!















This is looking back up the coast. The flowers here are gorgeous!!




This the Bondi Beach. The Coastal walk starts at Bondi Beach and goes along the coast, over cliffs, and around several harbor beaches. Even through an old cemetery on the very edge of the ocean! We took the bus from the University to Bondi on Sat. and hiked about 6 miles to Coogie Beach.




This is the Iceberg Club at Bondi (pronouced "Bond-eye") Beach. Notice the built in pool on the edge of the cliff, people can swim laps and have the wave wash in with out dragging them out to sea. clever!!



We are living in a huge old building, similar to a castle. This is one hallway leading to our rooms. Over the weekend, there were only a couple of other people here, we only saw them at breakfast in the "Late dinningroom". There is an Octagon section of rooms. Anyway, wandering around the empty and dimly lit halls was sorta like being in some Jane Austin novel. Actually we were hoping to find a wardrobe!! Also there is a grassed courtyard with a rose garden and benches!!




The University grounds are lovely, with fountains complete with ducks, swans and ibis! Tom was able to catch the rainbow in the fountain!!
