Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when federal troops publicly read the Emancipation Proclamation in Galveston, Texas. The troops had arrived in Texas several days earlier to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people were freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. #Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the U.S. and is considered the longest-running African American holiday. history.com/news/what-is-j…

What a day! Our first full day in Sydney included a coach tour & walking tour of downtown Sydney. We took a ferry ride past the Sydney Opera House, looked out over Sydney from the Sydney Sky Tower, & toured the Hyde Park Barracks.

Hell’s Gate Spa is where some of us headed today. The geothermal mud pool + sulfur pools melted all travel stress away. 🌞 Some of us did a cold plunge challenge for 2 min!!

At dinner, we celebrated the bday of fellow traveler Katie w/ a Tim Tam cake. To top it off, the flight crew on our long flight wrote us a special note & gave us some swag of decks of cards & keychains. @D127GetsReal @meg_lopez

A beautiful day at the Geothermal Māori village learning from our local guides!

Enjoying sweet corn cooked in Geothermal baths!

Then ….we learned about jade, took a gondola 🚠 up a mountain, rode a ‘duck’, visited the agrodome, & ended the night w/ dinner & a show in a Maori village.

We visited the Maori village in Rotorua & got a chance to see their big geothermal geyser. We even ate corn cooked in geothermal HOT water. Very busy day today!!
