On the Corner of Elizabeth and Park

After walking Chinatown and Darling Harbour for the majority of my afternoon, I decided my feet needed a break. Hence, I found myself at the corner of Elizabeth St. and Park St., outside the Starbucks with a newly purchased and already half-inhaled raspberry blackcurrant blended tea. Across the street, the palm trees and grassy green beckoned. Hello, Hyde Park.

 

I spent the rest of the afternoon sunbathing, people watching, and reading Tolkien's The Hobbit (I never read it as a kid...I know, I had a deprived childhood). Almost forgot I had left California :).

NOTE: Hyde Park is the very large rectangular green space with trees in the picture to the right...just in case you didn't figure that out already.
