Last night, 23 May 2014, was an amazing night. It was the start to Vivid Sydney which is a light, music and idea festival that happens every year for two weeks at Circular Quay, where the Opera House is. Since several people had work and other plans, Sydney Libby and I headed down to Circular Quay at 6:30 to grab a few drinks at Opera Bar, look at the artwork on the Opera House and experience the Vivid Sydney experience. After shattering a glass at Opera Bar, digging glass out of Sydney's toe and taking tons of pictures, we headed across the Harbour to Argyle for dinner, a couple free drinks and to see Rachel, who works there. On our way to Argyle we were able to see more light and music shows. It truly is something everyone should see! Approaching the Argyle I noticed that the Rocks Market tents were up but this time they were not selling knick knacks. They were selling food! Let me tell you, this food was amazing, they had all different types of food ranging from Chinese food to soft pretzels to kebabs to cheeseburgers. I ordered a meatball pita with cheese and lettuce, it was absolutely delicious and so cheap! After finishing our food we headed up the street to Argyle and got a couple drinks because everyone started showing up. I had no idea that everyone from Oaks Harmony was showing up but it ended up being a great night. We all bonded and danced and laughed. I really am going to miss these people! Since I did not know I was going to be staying at Argyle until 1:30 in the morning, when Sami and I left and took the last train home, I was dressed in jeans, a sweater and sandals, definitely not a going out outfit for myself but I rocked it. After a couple drinks and tearing up the dance floor Sami and I called it a successful night and headed home. Upon arriving home I went to bed. I had my alarm set for 5:30 am to wake up and go see the sunrise and Bondi beach and do the coastal walk but Rachel suggested we do it tomorrow, 25 May, and we all agreed. Tonight will be a relaxing night home after last nights crazy shenanigans. I plan on headed back down to the Opera house to see the lights because they change every night.
Miss you all!
