More Pictures











So these are my pictures for today. The picture of the skyscraper is my apartment building. I live on the 20th floor. The other pictures are the views from my apartment. You can see the ocean from a few of the pictures and also a view of the Yarra river. The Yarra river is the river I have to cross to get into the city each day. In one of the pictures you can see a massive building on the right hand side of the photo. That is the Crown Casino. I tried not to get to much of it in my pictures but it is hard because it is pretty massive. It is about the same height as the building that I live in but it is much larger in size. I mention the casino because, this morning as I was enjoying my views of the ocean I noticed something in one of the windows of the casino. It was a man standing naked right next to his window. I don't know if he knew that people could see him or if he thought, like many do, that people can't see inside a window from the outside. Sorry ladies, I didn't get any pictures. I hope that someone tells him that he can be seen. Today was a beautiful day. It was sunny and I actually left my apartment without my jacket. That is unusual for winter down here. Most days are overcast and rainy. It was a welcome break. I had the opportunity of going to Queen Victoria Market. This place was awesome. It has everything. You have your meats of every kind, sea food, deli meat, veggies, fruit, and all kinds of clothes, souvenirs, or other products. It is all contained in an area about the area of 3 or 4 football fields. It is good that I had no money or I would have definitely bought a bunch of stuff. After that I went and bought a Met pass. A met pass allows you to use the tram (light rail), bus and train. I bought a week pass. It cost me about 30 dollars. I just didn't want to walk the 2 kilometers back home. Th tram took me down to the Flinders Street train station. Right where I disembarked from the tram there is a store called Lord of the Fries. They make hand cut fries. They were yummy. I didn't get a chance to eat my hamburger, but that is OK. Obviously they are known for their fries. From there it was back to my apartment where I took a nap and tried to avoid looking over at the casino. Now I have finished all of my chores and I am ready to cook my dinner and then go to bed. I look forward to my next blog.
G-Day from down under.
