Day six:
Brandy and the girls and I headed into Sydney yet again. We were going to meet up with our cousins Kate and Brooke (sisters); they are working stiffs so we made plans to meet up with them on Saturday.
We were early for our rendezvous so Brandy, gals, and I went to Starbucks (once again, where else would you go in a foreign country?). The girls got "babycinos" (steamed milk, foam, with a cocoa sprinkle - free with purchase of a drink). Everyone kept telling us that they thought they had originated in the US because, I suppose, they do sound like American consumerism at its finest. But neither Brandy nor I had ever heard of such a thing (especially, being free w/ drink purchase). Anyway, the girls loved them and they felt included in our lil' coffee dates. Wonder if they will catch on like cane toads?
When we met up with our cousins we all walked and/or strolled to Darling Harbour - through the Theatre District and Chinatown. There was some sort of Chinese festival which was fun to people watch at. The girls played at the park and then we all went to lunch in a place that overlooked the harbor.

Molly always the style-icon. Over sized sunglasses are so in right now.
