Of course, our aim is to let Mark experience some time in the snow, especially so because he visited Australia in winter.  We also travelled to Melbourne to attend the first birthday of Celine and Jessica\u2019s favourite baby cousin \u2013 Potpot.<\/p>\n<p>After those trips, Mark had to content himself travelling by train around town. We enrolled him in a gym where he met friends. This is perhaps his best influence on us, for after he left for home, Jeanne and I continued going to the gym and we are healthier and more active as ever. Fortunately, watching Jerry Springer and the World Federation Wrestling did not rub off. Every so often though, Jeanne gets this craving to have coffee at Starbucks \u2013 another habit that Mark left us.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td><div id=\"attachment_570\" style=\"width: 187px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rommelpascual.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/image10331.gif\" alt=\"Sydney Opera House backdrop during a river cruise\" title=\"Mark Pacheco in Sydney 2001\" width=\"177\" height=\"119\" class=\"size-full wp-image-570\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-570\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sydney Opera House backdrop during a river cruise<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<td><div id=\"attachment_571\" style=\"width: 198px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rommelpascual.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/image10281.gif\" alt=\"Harbour Bridge view from the Sydney Opera House\" title=\"Mark and Jeanne\" width=\"188\" height=\"117\" class=\"size-full wp-image-571\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-571\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Harbour Bridge view from the Sydney Opera House<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<td><div id=\"attachment_575\" style=\"width: 191px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rommelpascual.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2001\/10\/image1045.jpg\" alt=\"At Planet Hollywood before they closed shop\" title=\"Mark at Sydney&#039;s Planet Hollywood\" width=\"181\" height=\"111\" class=\"size-full wp-image-575\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-575\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At Planet Hollywood before they closed shop<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><div id=\"attachment_580\" style=\"width: 195px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-580\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rommelpascual.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2001\/10\/image9151.gif\" alt=\"Sydney Centerpoint Revolving Restaurant\" title=\"Sydney Centerpoint Revolving Restaurant\" width=\"185\" height=\"128\" class=\"size-full wp-image-580\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-580\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sydney Centerpoint Revolving Restaurant<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<td><div id=\"attachment_579\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-579\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rommelpascual.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2001\/10\/image9101.gif\" alt=\"Let it snow, let it snow!\" title=\"The Pascual Family - Sydney 2001\" width=\"190\" height=\"129\" class=\"size-full wp-image-579\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-579\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Let it snow, let it snow!<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<td><div id=\"attachment_581\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rommelpascual.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2001\/10\/image10181.gif\" alt=\"At The Melbourne Casino\" title=\"At The Melbourne Casino\" width=\"200\" height=\"123\" class=\"size-full wp-image-581\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-581\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At The Melbourne Casino<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=2><div id=\"attachment_582\" style=\"width: 222px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-582\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rommelpascual.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2001\/10\/image9171.gif\" alt=\"Friends Mark made while at the gym\" title=\"Mark&#039;s Going Home Party\" width=\"212\" height=\"139\" class=\"size-full wp-image-582\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-582\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Friends Mark made while at the gym<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<td><div id=\"attachment_572\" style=\"width: 196px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-572\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rommelpascual.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/image10241.gif\" alt=\"Mark and Celine walks Friday at a nearby park\" title=\"Mark, Celine and Friday\" width=\"186\" height=\"129\" class=\"size-full wp-image-572\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-572\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mark and Celine walks Friday at a nearby park<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rommelpascual.com\/20011201\/pascual-family-news-2001\">Originally published as part of the Pascual Family News 2001.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes folks, having Mark here certainly gave us an excuse to rediscover our city.
