this is the first day of our second week in Australia!
we started with three days in Melbourne
one night in Healesville, another night in Alstrop(wrong but i can't remember the place name, will correct later) last night in Canberra, where we saw the old parliament and the Indigenous People's tent embassy (need to look up the proper name of that as well) and the New Parliament where we got a specialized tour focusing on recent Indigenous Rights progress (are you sensing a theme? my husband Gets Me.)
then we drove from Canberra to Sydney, and he's been shorting himself on sleep and Didn't Tell Me till this morning... nightmares about work oh my GODS
but we arrived safe,
and from what I understand the city from where we are is a) very walkable and b) has decent public transit. So I'll be looking into that while he works from Monday through thursday. we stay till Sunday morning, and I'll be looking into kitschy shopping and bookstores and pubs and coffee shops during the day while he has work.
goal: I want a guidebook of California published with an Australian perspective, and maybe to find a queer bookstore. and to catch one of my nanowrimo friends while I'm here. =)))
i made us a nice green salad (they don't do salads in restaurants?? here?? wtf??) for dinner and it's 11:30 pm here and we're gonna go crash shortly in this little air b n b.
