Sydney Opera House!

Today the group and my mom went to the Sydney Opera House for an architectural tour. The building's design was actually made by an architect who won a design competition. he used this theory about using a sphere to make pieces fit together in a perfect mathematical way. The inside design has a lot of wood paneling which reminds me a lot of musical instruments especially the woodwind family such as the cello and violin.

They used these different types of materials for the inside to help deflect echoing and enhance the acoustics. After our tour, we were done for the day so Mom and I went shopping. She literally thinks I asked her to fly half way across the world to buy me things but I actually missed her a lot so I'm glad she's here. After we shopped we went and picked up my cell phone that I lost the first time we were in Sydney and then went back to her hotel and got ready for dinner. Tonight we took all of the environmental design out to Shangri La which is a bar where you can see the entire city and then we went to the 360 degree bar for dinner. The food was absolutely amazing and it was so sweet of my mom to treat us all to dinner. Tomorrow we have the day off so I'm going to take my mom to the Sydney Botanical Gardens.
