History in the Making

OK, this really isn't as significant as the media is making it out to be, but it is still kind of cool, and typifies the sort of thing that is always happening around Sydney.

This morning, the Queen Mary II docked in Sydney Harbour - the largest ship ever to enter. The event was marked by sky writing and a lot of ballyhoo on television. Tonight, the Queen Elizabeth II will enter the harbour, marking the first time the sisters have ever seen each other. More ballyhoo, including a blasting of their horns and a huge fire works display.

Speaking of fireworks...I swear there are fireworks going off around here all the time. Last Tuesday, there was a noisy frackas just over the hill from our apartment, where I would swear there is nothing noteworthy located. What could have been so exciting on a Tuesday?? Perhaps someone was having a Tupperware party.
