Exploring Surry Hills

With the intermittent misty rain, it was warm and humid for our walk to Surry Hills and the Bourke Street Bakery, a tiny place that maybe holds ten people at most.  While we sat outside to drink our flat white coffees and eat our delicious snacks, a drama unfolded nearby: an undercover policeman pulled over a couple in a small car, two mounted police arrived, presumably as backup, then four more officers, in two more vehicles, to search the people and the car.  while the man was placed in a paddywagon and driven away, the woman was let go, and walked away.
Later we looked for an art studio we'd read about, and after several tries, finally found it down a narrow lane.The exhibit was called Alchemy/Pop and was quite interesting.
