We got something of a late start today, a little after 10:30. I’m not sure why. We just didn’t get our engines revving this morning.
We started the day with a walk through the Royal Botanical Gardens. Given that it’s winter here, the gardens—while attractive—weren’t breathtaking with the sort of blooms one might see in summer. I also became very fatigued from the cold medication I’m taking. So, I let Libby and Emerson walk around while I slept on a bench. That’s right. I fell asleep on a park bench. 
After my nap, we walked to the Art Gallery of New South Wales. It’s the most important art museum in Sydney. The European art collection was decent enough, but I especially enjoyed the aboriginal art. I’ve seen it before—somewhere in Europe, Vienna I think—but I’ve never had the opportunity to view as many pieces in such close proximity. I think it appeals to my appreciation of both geometric abstract and mosaic art. Libby seemed less certain, though she enjoyed the more overtly political, conceptual art by Australia’s indigenous people.

We then visited St. Mary’s Cathedral, which started construction in 1868 and finished in 2000. Here’s a picture of the interior:
