Nick and Wilma's Pomegranate, 3'x2' chalk pastel.

This is a drawing I did of the pomegranate that Wilma cut us 
for breakfast when they billeted us during the exchange teacher
Welcome Conference in Sydney. It was inspiring.

Exchange Teacher Welcome Weekend

Just got back from a whirlwind of activity in Sydney. Had a conference on Friday, and went to a welcome dinner. Saturday we went on a harbour cruise, had a picnic, walked around Circular quay, had coffee and lunch at Guylain chocolate cafe, and went to a show at the Opera House!  Amazing! Sunday we went to Bondi Beach to check it out and it was crazy busy with Iron man type swim competition and some junior swim club competetition. We then went to Maroubra beach which was beautiful. After that we headed back to Canberra because it's Monday and some of us have responsibilities...
