First month in Australia

I am almost a native now that i have hit my first month milestone in Australia.  It has really gone by FAST and looking forward to a fun spring like month of OCT, unlike The States where fall is clearly in control.  Finally feeling settled and have found our new apt home for the last part of our trip. Have found some great trails for biking and my fav so far is the beach road south of downtown which goes maybe as far as Mornington.  Feels like southern california but safer to ride on.

Finally settled on 2 bedroom apt in South bank area not far from where i am at now. If you GOOGLE the address 613/80 Clarendon Street, Southbank 3006 you can zoom in on apt and see the patio we will be throwing parties each weekend while we stay in Australia!!! We are also only 2 blocks to the bike path.  Southbank area is a great spot in Melbourne with lots of places to eat and great people watching.

I have a video to share from my ride along the beach rode south this weekend. Have yet to make contact with community garden in st kilda. I am getting an nasty itch for some tomatos and Joy made me was aware of how many she gave away in my absence.  YIKES.  Weather is just starting to warm up feels like early april.  Black socks and white shorts will be the attire i will introduce to the aussies, hope they don't kick me out when i bend over!!!!  is that a wildabeast? Got many birthday cards from family and shout out to all thanks.
Please mute sound as road noise is significant

Joy had her BIG FRIDA event this weekend and there were a number of very good articles i have posted here about the event.  It was a huge success and when i spoke with her she sounded beat but upbeat.
