Arrived in Melbourne Thursday night. A bowl of pasta and glass of wine at Di Stasio for dinner. More on that when I get home. Prahan Markets today and we picked up supplies for a picnic. Great Serrano Jamon and an excellent Brie. Meeting friends for lunch in St Kilda tomorrow.
Missing you and wish you were here.

Postcard From Australia #4

A few wet days but improving for the weekend.  Will spend Saturday night with friends at their house in the bush at Mundoolun. Yesterday enjoyed a nice lunch and long chat at  Buzz in Brisbane with The Old Foodie. Looking forward to Melbourne next week.

Miss you all and wish you were here.

Postcard From Australia #3

Wonderful swimming this morning in 34 degree heat.  Spent a couple of hours today looking at apartments. Very nice but not in the area we want to live. Had dinner at  The Rice Paddy where the cheapest wine is more expensive than the most expensive main.  Great  food.  An excellent wine list which seemed a little out of place in a casual Vietnamese restauarant.

Wish you were here.
