Lately...

the street is always fun when you live in a big city. we sat here one night and listened to street performers
 pepsi max at 711 is soooo expensive. i never buy it there...well, almost never
this zoo is cool. all the animals are out in the open
even the kangaroos
a nice view of the city from the river
another nice view of the city from the river :)
 i thought this was funny
 these TimTams are new and they are delicious! 
"The Fresh Pear", where I've been spending most of my time ;)
 as you can see it is pretty amazing
it's all about presentation
 this is the back of the stand
 kiwiberry; a cross between a kiwi fruit and blueberry. from New Zealand, obviousy
  the fairfield boathouse where we had brunch last week with some friends
we fed the duckies

and Doug and Matt rowed our little canoe down the Yarra river...it was fun!

Melbourne!

Australian Open!
I went to "the tennis" (that's what the Aussies call it) twice.
Heidi and I went the first day and saw Federer, Wazi-whatever her name is, and Sharapova.
It was all first round so the games were short but it was still cool to be in the
Rod Laver Arena.



We were really excited.




As you can tell by my attire it wasn't very warm out. 
It was overcast and about 75 degrees. 


Doug and I went the next Friday and saw Andy Roddick.
He won the 4th round and he has A LOT of fans.


Andy Roddick won 


The Hisense Arena. Our seats were really close. 
And it was kind of cold in the shade.
