Stumbled upon an interesting article which attempts to rank the Best Cities In the World… Pause for dramatic effect. It certainly made me smile to see some of the places I’ve visited had made it onto the list. (And it kind of made me visualize Elf congratulating the #1 spot…) “Congratulations! You did it! Best […]
Moto GP – Not the Video Game
As many of you can tell, Mandy is the primary voice of our blog and I handle the photos and technology. With her gone the past 2.5 months, I just realized that while I still did a few interesting things I wrote about it very little (aka not at all). Since no time is like […]
Like New
It’s funny how quickly you become adjusted to new things, new places, new ways of being. We have been in Melbourne now for almost 3 months (that little anniversary will be in 3 days…) and it feels like it’s been forever, in a good way. Maps are a thing of the past, buying groceries is […]
Da Nile
No, we aren’t going to Africa (I wish!). And there hasn’t been a new river discovered in our corner of the planet either. Unfortunately, this is all about me…and my denial over the fact that my time here in Australia is coming to an…end. Ugh, there. I said it. Or wrote it. Whatever. The point […]
The Opera House
…and this other place called Sydney. We are back home in Melbourne left with lots of memories and photos of our most recent weekend trip to Sydney. Going through said photos we realized that, without any explanation, people might think that we just sat around for 4 days staring at the Opera House and Harbour […]
“I’ll Have the Wrap and Crap”
…abbreviated words are hard. Especially at 5:30 AM in an airport. We headed out to Sydney this morning bright and early eager to start our weekend exploring a new part of Australia. We were also eager to get some brekkie as we were uncertain if it would be served free of charge on the plane. […]
The Great Ocean Road
Driving the Great Ocean Road (GOR) was such an incredible experience full of beautiful sights, winding roads, wildlife and, of course, delicious food! Mini history lesson (groan): the GOR was constructed by soldiers of WWI to commemorate their fallen comrades and was completed in 1932; it stretches for 243 km (151 miles) and offers amazing […]
Dreary Bleary
We’ve been dealing with a lot of this lately… It’s easy to forget that it’s winter down here when last week graced us with a few days of 60 degree weather. Then reality hits and brings everything back to normal. I.e. 50 degrees and overcast with a constant threat of rain. We are wrapping up […]
