I don't need to tell YOU about cramped endless flights! As soon as wee arrived in Melbourne, we took a taxi to our mid-town hotel, dropped off our carry-ons (one carry-on per person for the three week trip), grabbed our water bottles, and headed out the door. Our goal was to adjust to the time zone change by spending the day outdoors until Melbourne bedtime.fitzroy gardens.
We walked past the Parliament building where college students were dancing in various degrees of undress unil the policeman chased them away (pictures available upon request), past the old Windsor hotel, and into the Treasurey and Fitzroy gardens.
I've run out of money--it's a $1 for 10 minutes!
More another day.
Hugs, D.

Hi! This is John, from over at thejlink. I'm sorry to take so long getting back to you. :-( Thank you so much for your messages and support - it means a lot to know that there's someone out there helping me push along when it gets hard (which is pretty often).
Sending reading material to soldiers is such a great idea. I read what I can, typically on audio. I'm interested in some pretty odd stuff, though. The last thing I read, err, audiobooked, was "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time", by Mark Haddon; it's a sorta-non-fictional account of an autistic (Asperger's) boy's adventures around his quirky family and neighborhood. I suppose that's a good snapshot of what I'm into.
(And the classics, of course - one of my absolute favs is "Catch-22", and "The Great Gatsby" is next in line on CD...)
What sorts of lit do you like? I'm a pretty slow reader, but my mom reads like there's no tomorrow! Maybe we could share.
Thanks again for supporting me on this journey... Let me reiterate that it means a lot. Have a rockin' time in Australia!
