Mad About Melbourne
Of all the places I got to visit because of my job thus far, Melbourne is my hands-down favorite. I was there several weeks ago with two other colleagues to attend agIdeas 2010. Highlights of my trip included being equally star-struck by Theo Jansen and by the Twelve Apostles, losing one of my travel buddies while trying to board a sardine can of a tram, and simply basking in the brisk autumn air.
One thing I learned during my week in Melbourne… was that a week in Melbourne simply wasn’t enough. I guess I’ll just have to go back sometime.
Accidental color coordination equals instant photo op.
We walked a lot, and I mean A LOT. Thank heavens for comfortable boots.
These art deco colors caught my eye while shopping on Brunswick Street.
One of these things is not like the others…
Did you think I would leave the Traveling Book behind?
…YOU WERE IN MELBOURNE AND YOU DIDN’T CALL ME????
Would I be forgiven if I told you that I found out about the trip only a couple of weeks in advance and that calling you definitely crossed my mind but the schedule was just too crazy with the conference and all? *sheepish grin*
Lame excuses all around, I know
I’ll come back sometime, though, and I’ll definitely call you then!
