Today was a rainy hazy day. Yesterday was warm and nice, today not so much. I found the subway system, had a station right outside my hotel which was nice, and headed towards the Harbor. Walking around the warf there are plenty of tourism locations to help book events, activities and whatnot. I spent a good amount of time seeing everything each of them had to offer and eventually booked a few things, one being a harbor dinner cruise with an open bar! Oh yea!
The boat was an old paddle wheel that held about 200 some odd people and what a night we had. The food they served was really good and while we ate, a magician walked from table to table performing simple tricks. The win event was a Vegas style show with some very attractive performers. Of course, everyone is free to move around the boat at any time and this gave me the chance to get outside and take some amazing shots of the Opera House and the Harbor Bridge. Im getting pretty good at this photographing inannimate objects thing, maybe I should go freelance for newspapers or something.
There was one group of people who struck my interest as soon as I saw them walk in because I don't think they knew what type of show boat this was...they were Indian. I couldnt help but glance over at them periodically to see how they reacted to the show and every time I did, I was not disappointed! All the husbands were sitting there starring at the show girls (hardly wearing anything at all) while their wives, who were wearing their full traditional attire o include some of them with their faces covered, would go from glaring at their husbands to giving the evil eye to the performers. They were not a fan of the Mulon Rouge type performance with the ladies strutting across the stage half naked.
Anyway, I somehow made it back to my room and passed out. Great first day.
