"Back in blog"

I apologize for the brief break in my posts. I have moved to a new house, here in Melbourne, where I don't have internet access. My first weekend in Australia was a total blast. I met a lot of Gavin's mates as we partied through the entire weekend.

On Monday, Gavin took me out into the country to a town called Wangaratta. Nothing too exciting about it, except that Gavin had a shop to visit and it gave me a good opportunity to see a new place. Along the way we saw many interesting birds, parrots, macaws and flocks of cockatoos.

The weather has been absolutely bizarre. In a one hour span the city can go from rain to sun, to rain, back to sun and then finally settling back on rain. Imagine what the course of a day is like! It makes it tough to plan out what to do. Getting caught in the rain is never a good idea, but it really pours here. Fortunately, Tuesday was such a nice day and I spent the majority of the day on the beach. It's a beautiful walk from where I am, in a suburb called Brighton, to the beach. Because the beach stretches a good portion of Melbourne, it is also never very crowded.

Today I began assisting Gavin and Andrew with the website for their up and coming business website, Grundi Tours. I will be helping them enter important tour data onto the site as much as possible for their expected launch in January.

This weekend will be really exciting. Along with a bunch of Gavin's friends, we'll be taking a limo to a winery about an hour outside of Melbourne to see Blondie and The Pretenders in concert. Should be an absolute blast!
