Back to Sydney

I believe we've mentioned our love of food. I want you to appreciate when I say our last wwoof host was one of the best cooks we've stayed with so far I'm giving great praise. We arrived in time for a going away dinner party they were having for a friend and enjoyed some of the best food ever! It didn't go down hill from there. One night we mentioned, accidentally as it is a taboo subject, our love of Mexican food. Wayne immediately decided we should cook a Mexican meal and did everything in his power to make it possible!
We were overwhelmed! We made beans, salsa, guacamole, tortillas, chimichangas, enchiladas and even a syrup we served over ice cream that we made from prickly pear fruit that we got from the back of their property! It was so much fun to be able to share our love of Mexican/Indian food with other food lovers and to be able to cook for someone that appreciated it. In fact, appreciated it so much they let us cook it another night, we had a dinner party for our going away as well!
Leaving Wayne and Angela's we traveled back to Sydney where we had to trade in the toy car for another car from a different rental company. They were nice enough to call a friend and ask if we could stay with her for the night we had planned here.
We liked Karla so much and got on so well with her that we ended up staying. The truth is she invited us to go to Sydney's largest craft show with her and her friends the next day so we took a day to explore the north beaches of Sydney and today spent several hours wandering a wonderful place! The problem with craft fairs is they make you feel so very crafty and you immediately start planning all the projects you want to do and of course we're traveling. We still managed to spend quite a bit more than we planned and now have a couple of things to keep us busy on the long car rides we'll be on.
Tomorrow we head off again in the direction of Broken Hill.
