Friday is here! Work is done for the week and we're planning our activities for tomorrow. Assuming the weather is agreeable we plan to spend an exciting day in downtown Melbourne. Today the boys went to the beach and saw lots of shells. They've been having fun hanging out with Dad and spending time playing. (Jarrod's been getting glares from ladies in the stores though because he looks like a delinquent father who's letting his kids skip school.) And a coworker brought me a sack of puzzles and toys which has been great fun.
In follow-up to the shopping note thank goodness we found a discount grocery store. Milk, cereal and basic foods were much more reasonable. The selection was rather spotty and not nearly like a full grocery but it will help us supply some staples for a decent price. Of course coffee is still about $15/lb - yikes! Along with tonight's dinner we had rock melon (a.k.a. cantaloupe) and Kraft Mac & Cheese with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives (in accordance with Australian food standards preservatives are not included). The mac & cheese was a bit off but it satisfied Ryan's desire for one of his favorite foods. All in all it's been a good adventure so far. Lots of new experiences for us all.
