Way south in Melbourne
Hello!
I am in Melbourne now, pronounced with a soft r sound so more like Mel-ben. Anyways Yesterday we were in Canberra (Kan-Bra), the state capital, It was really interesting. A guy from Chicago, Mr Griffen, won a contest to design the city and he did it on a triangle basis. We saw parliment and their two houses of senate and representatives. Then we drove around all the embassies and found the of couse the US had the biggest one! The second largest was the chinese...go figure
Later that afternoon we went to the smallest airport ever to fly from Canberra to Melbourne. It was only an hour long flight. Amanda allmost threw up in my lap but its all good! Then we unpacked in our HUGE hotel room and headed out for a night on the town. We figured that a sat. night would be hopping but we were sooo tired we made it to one bar and then went to bed. (Mom i finally wore my scarf!)
Today A and I ran for a bit in a sketchy part of town and then we went on a day long visit to the Yarra river valley. We went to a an old farm and to a sanctuary and a park. I got cool pics and Leanne will love me mucho becuase i got Pics of Beautiful Horsies!!
We just got back from a tour of the Melbourne Gaol (Jail) and it was haunted and i screamed a lot but it was very informative and interesting and told the story of Ned Kelly.
Now we are having a PJ cocktail party in our room because it is huge!
Miss everyone!
