Last Saturday, I went to Geelong. Rode on a helicopter over the bay, which was really cool! Also rode on an old carousel near the waterfront. Fun fact: “The Armitage-Herschell Company of New York manufactured the Carousel in 1892.” I’ll try to post pictures soon.
Went to the International Society for Krishna Consciousness temple in St. Kilda on Sunday and had a wonderful time. The deity statues were marvelous by the way. Had lunch and dessert on Acland Street, too. Gotta love a slice of cheesecake that uses a 100-year-old Polish recipe.
Recently won free movie tickets and went to a Monday showing of the film “Wanted,” starring Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, and James McAvoy. It’s a pretty good action film; not a complicated plot, just fun to watch the visual effects.
I had a great conversation with a professor at Monash University today. He was friendly and encouraging.
Gearing up for my return to the States. Less than two weeks to go!
Saw the license plate “ooooom” the other day, which brought a smile to my face. Saw a big beautiful rainbow in downtown Melbourne while I was riding the train today, which also made me smile.
Am hoping my dog Pluto will find nice playmates in Michigan.
