Early morning flight from Auckland to Melbourne and made my way by Skybus and Tram to Kylie Gould's home at St. Kilda's beach. Kylie is the gal who is an attorney at the University of Melbourne who stayed with me for a week after the annual NACUA conference in Toronto. It's wonderful to see her again and to meet her friends and the neighborhood is wonderful down here just south of the city and next to the beach. I had the chance to tour all around the neighborhood, walk down the pier, and book some tours and then we had dinner with her friend Sarah at a tapas restaurant - lots of fun. Weather here is very changeable and it is known to give you 4 seasons in one day (and that truly is what happens!). Also pictured here is a statute of the famous Captain Cook (who was the founder of this whole nation, it seems) and the beloved Australian "Christmas Tree: which in this one is just beginning to show its red flowers. It's hard to believe that this is my last week of the trip!
