St. Kilda

Last night I was chillin in the hostel lounge when I met a lovely girl from London named Rosie. She and I talked for awhile and exchanged numbers. This morning during breakfast I met up with her and another girl from Germany named Paulie. We talked and such for awhile then Rosie decided to move into my room at the hostel because I still don't have a roommate and one of her roommates is annoying. So now I have a really nice friend. She moved in then we caught a bus to a cute little town of St. Kilda. There we went to the beach, had lunch a great cafe then ate gelato. I had the best steak sandwich. It had lettuce and some sort of tomatos and something like pickles but they called them something else and some sort of cheese like feta but it wasn't. YUM! Then we had dessert at a gellato place. I had a scoop of Dulce de Leche and some other weird variety. HEAVEN. Then we walked around for a bit and found this travel agency that gave us free internet so I am updating. I can't load photos right now because it isn't the library but I will ASAP because I have a picture of a wild Cakatoo!!!

Yesterday (yes I am going in reverse) I took a wonderfully long nap then motivated myself to get out of bed by promising myself coffee. So I walked back into downtown Melbourne and found a Starbucks. I sat there for awhile reading my book and listening to music. I walked across the street to some shops and looked around Then I walked to the visitors center where they were having a light show of some sort so I watched that. Then I met Julianne at a McDonalds for a quick meal because she had to go study some more and was going there anyway. McDonalds is way different than at home. Their Medium is our small, no wonder Americans are so fat. I had a chicken ceasar wrap except for ceaser dressing they used Mayo. It was interesting. Then I walked back to the hostel and hung out in the living room. I stayed up till around 10:30 last night which I thought was good and woke up only once during the night.

I think tonight I am going out to dinner with Julianne then we are going to a bar for 90's night. So far everyone in Melbourne is fantatic. People here are so nice and willing to help with anything. I think I said all this already but it can't hurt saying it again!
