This weekend Mark and I went to a few markets- one on Sunday being the "Queen Victoria Market" - a huge outdoor and indoor food, clothing a knick knack mecca. This place was great- all sorts of food and produce. We found some great salami, veggies, fish and foods to eat. We also have a smaller market across from our house every 3rd Saturday. It was quaint with great cheeses, herbs, blood oranges, produce, etc. Also on Sat we walked around Melbourne around Federation Square. We ate at this great neighborhood Italian restaurant "Pellegrino" that was authentic, crowded and yummy! If it sounds like all we have done is eat it is true. Diet starts Monday. You can't help it- there are so many awesome restaurants and Markets here! But, I am searching for a market that has Mexican food as Mark is requesting my green chicken enchiladas. Wish me luck. We relaxed Sunday night and cooked our fish, risolles, and polenta. Here are some interesting tidbits: no one wears tennis shoes as they are double the price here, bikes are also real expensive- Mark is looking for one on Ebay; beer is expensive; coffee is not brewed here- it is all espresso based and yummy; they pronounce the letter "z" like "zed".
Much love,
Alexis

I'm jealous except it looks kind of cold! I'm glad you both are doing well but watch out for the Great Whites in the water and the land sharks at the pubs. They both may try to attack you so be careful. See ya, Joel
