Shoave In the City: Sydney Edition

Dave and I have this great travel journal that gives you ideas on how to explore in a way that get you to really know the culture of where you are. I must admit we didn't use it as much as I hoped, but we got this great idea from it.

We took a map of Sydney and we wrote our name, Shoave, throughout the streets and then walked the route. It was so fun to discover a part of Sydney that we wouldn't have done as just a regular tourist. Here is our little journey letter by letter.
