Sydney, Australia

After a 10 hour flight from Honolulu, I finally made it to the end of the yellow brick road! I met my Aunt Pina (who I haven’t seen in 20 years) and Papa Lou (for the first time). More importantly than the U2 concerts, I’m trying to get to know my Dad’s side of the family, who are a lot older than my Mom’s side. Sydney is a big city, and it reminds me a lot of London, England. The sites are impressive and the trains very extensive (though slow).

This is the first time I’ve spent the holidays away from my family and friends in Winnipeg.  The feelings of homesickness is tempered by the fact that I have welcome relatives in Sydney with whom I’m celebrating Christmas.  Still, it seems rather bizarre for me to be in hot weather during December.  I spent Christmas day with my second nephew at Cronulla beach, which was fun.  I also made a day trip to Kiama, close to the border of Victoria, and enjoyed the water and sights.  Another trip to the Blue Mountains, surfing at Manly Beach, and a wine tour of famous Hunter Valley were highlights.

    #U2 Hard to believe that the 2019 Joshua Tree open #U2 Hard to believe that the 2019 Joshua Tree opener in Auckland, New Zealand was 3 years ago today.

I’m really enjoying Bono’s autobiography #SurrenderMemoir. Incredible perspectives of his upbringing and influences in Dublin.

Last image on this post has a snippet of an IEM recording I took from the Auckland rehearsal on November 3, 2019. New Zealand in a way is In God’s Country.

This song (and album) is the soundtrack to my 2008 summer backpack travels in Egypt, Jordan, and Israel (Jerusalem, of course).

Got a GA ticket for this show - nice to be back after 3 years to be on the floor and on the rail. Was able to get my camera in for these photos.
