Finally had a few more pictures to post today. I think I took about 125 today in a very short time but we went to a couple of very scenic places! Got up early (it is that middle aged thing of not being able to sleep in anymore) and headed into town to get a mocha and a muffin and hit the Cotters Market on Flinders Street. Didn’t really find much other than a small basket an indigenous woman was selling made out of palm fronds which was pretty neat but it was nice to walk around. Oh Chris got a couple of pairs of sandals (buy one get one free–can’t pass that up!) and then we headed up Castle Hill. We had gone there in March when his boss took us but we had no clue at that time what we were really looking at so it made a lot more sense today!!! It was a perfect day and if we ever move in town that will be my goal to walk Castle Hill several times a week. There is quite a following of Castle Hill walkers, runners and bikers and it is a grueling trek but would be incredible to be able to do!!! But today we drove!
Then we headed to Queen’s Gardens which is a huge park with all of these wonderful plants and trees and birds and it was such a great place!!! I could have stayed there for hours!!! There were a few people walking dogs but not a lot of folks there when we were there so we just wandered around and I took tons of pictures that one of these days I will put on Picasa and share so you can see them. It was probably one of our best days yet here because it was just so relaxing!!! So relaxing that Chris came home, read the paper and now is napping!!!
We were happy to talk to Micah today and caught up with him. I think he is doing fine but I sure do miss him. He has a terrible cough and I made him promise me that he would find an urgent care to go to tomorrow—I would imagine it is bronchitus. That is the hard part about being on the road and living in a hotel—-hard to get to the dr. if you need to go.
It will be a fun week this week—going to the Burdekin on Wednesday and meeting a new friend for lunch, going out to dinner with a bunch of the CSR folks from there on Wed night and then off to Mackay on Thursday so Chris can go to the mill there. We are going to spend a couple days sightseeing so that will be a wonderful weekend away. I can’t wait!!! More to explore!!! More pictures so keep your eyes open!!!
