Australia- Melbourne

First I would like to thank my hosts for the week, Nozomi and Kaori.  it is too bad this is such a crap picture.
 Melbourne skyline


 tram line down the center of the street.  Be careful of trams!


Through a park



At night

 A cool cafe/bar underneath a bridge right on the river

 Graffiti alley.  It is a tourist attraction

 Coffee and sudoku

 good times




Okay stop taking our picture

Fine, I will just take your picture aka Fancy boy Alex

 Melbourne State library's reading room.  Gorgeous

 It houses Ned Kelly's armor.  Ned Kelly is a famous outlaw in Australia.  He wore armor and the police couldn't kill him.  Cool.
 Melbourne Gaol (Jail) where they eventually hung Ned Kelly after capturing him

 a tree with paper like bark

 Went to St. Kilda's beach.  Very calm.

Stupid looking dog statue.  Not the statue is stupid, but the dog looks absolute special needs.

 The word choice...Australia!

 Went to the aquarium

 big crab

Cool river shark display.  Danger everywhere in Australia.

 manta ray feeding time.  They were hungry!

 A penguin going to get a rock for its nest

 bringing it back

and placing it into the nest in front of its mate.  Cute!

Kaori looks terrified.  And even though I wear the same shirt in all of these pictures, it is actually three different days.  Gross!
