Giraffe Monitoring the
Situation |
We wondered down to the Rocks where there was a festival going on for the day on Sunday. The Aroma Festival featuring coffee, tea, and chocolate. How could that be bad?
The Rocks was alive with people meandering around. The festival was comprised of tables and tables of vendors, each displaying their wares. Almost all of the vendors represented some kind of food or drink. There were also several stages with musical and dance presentations. I liked the stage with the harbour bridge as a back drop.
We had fun wondering around seeking out the tables that had taste testers. I thought having samples was a good idea. There were so many vendors that we found ourselves preferentially stopping at the tables that would let us taste test...seemed like a small expense to entice a sale. The granola, cherry and nut places were yummy. We were also able to sample many different teas. I found it odd that none of the coffee places were giving out samples. We also looked around for cleaver names and investigated those booths. Matthew's favorite was a coffee place named "Sacred Grounds". After the afternoon of smelling and sampling (and some buying),
Matthew chose a coffee place and we were able to witness the artistry of pouring a pretty cup of coffee. I never knew that coffee had become an artform...apparently it has in some places. This guy was a master with milk foam. :)

We walked home over the Sydney Harbour Bridge as the sun set and the lights of Sydney began to glow. It was a nice (and yummy) day out.
