Ahhhhh, I finally have a few minutes to write. :-) I am now in Drouin [map], about 100 km southeast of Melbourne. Last night I got together with Ben, Matt and AJ Holliday, Laura Linden, Christine Leach Croxford and her husband Dave, Eddie and Laura Matthies, and Christine and Rupert. We went to get pizza at some place on Lygon St. [map] in Melbourne, then went out for gelato afterwards. It was great to catch up with everyone, most of whom I haven't seen since 2000. It's still hard to believe that it's been that long…

Earlier in the day, Christine and I went downtown for a bit and did some tourist stuff. We went up the Eureka Skydeck to get a view of the city. It was pretty cool; it's so flat around here that you can see for miles and miles up the coastline. I got a bunch of photos but I'm not sure that any of them will come out.

We then rode the tram to Federation Square. There's a Pixar history exhibit going on right now that I thought would be interesting to check out. By the time we got there, though, Christine only had a half hour before she had to go to her class at the University, so we just browsed the free art gallery. I'm not really into art personally, but it was interesting to see some of her favorite pieces and hear what she liked about them. Maybe I have discovered some latent appreciation for art? Nah… probably not. :-)

It's hard to believe I only have a week left. I don't think we have any hard plans other than maybe a trip down to Phillip Island, but we'll see. Matt's off of work all next week and his wife (also named Christine yeah, it's confusing. :-) ) is off until the middle of next week, so I certainly won't be alone. :-)
