Well , we're here in Australia. Safely arrived after an uneventful flight yesterday morning (11/2) at 6:35 a.m. Spent most of the day taking it easy after a tiring flight. We did go to the mall yesterday, shopped at a Target. Probably go to K-Mart today. The store may be the same, but some of the contents are different. There is some good Australian candy. Today we march in a parade for the Festival of Fisher's Ghost. Hope the rain quits. We've met people from all over the world. We've seen teams from Australia, Japan, China, Malaysia, Finland, Czech Republic, Great Britan and Mongolia. The people in Australia are very friendly. Tonight we go to a reception and dinner at an art museum. Tomorrow it's eye tests. The main event starts on Wednesday. The team does get a day of practice on Tuesday.
The weather has been warm and rainy, which is good, since they've had a drought here also. Today we're checking out the grocery store. The mall is interesting. The grocery store is in the mall, and right smack in the middle of the mall is a meat market. Gar's been drinking Australian beer, all I've found for pop is Coca-cola products. We did watch the Wild play St Louis for a while on TV yesterday. Monday morning we can watch NFL footballl. TV and the internet have really made the world smaller.
Well, the internet access here is not free, so in this case, time is money. So, I'll post more when I have more to share.
Thanks for your love and support!
Nancy and Gar
