Visiting Australian Friends

We took the train to visit Gael and Scott in Rockingham, 40 min train south of Perth. It's so much fun to visit folks in other countries. They gave us a nice overview tour of their area; we walked a few beaches and parks. Then we drove back to their house where they treated us to a traditional Australian BBQ for lunch (awesome!!). We then went in search of Giants.

Later that night Susan joined us, so the 5 of us went to Ellington, a local Jazz bar for some Motown music. In Chicago bands are normally 4-piece, so a 9-piece band was a treat.Read more
