Block Party in Northcote







Ask and ye shall receive.
Mark, Todd and Johnny went to a street fair in the town of Northcote, an inner suburb of Melbourne this weekend (Sept. 23). Looks like fun!!!! This was the kick-off to the music street fairs going on for the next several months. Check out the video Johnny made too.
Love, Alexis

Back In LA




Hi,
I returned to LA on Friday, September 21st at 7:30 am. I am once again hanging out with my "other man", Kahlua. He requires copious amounts of sleep. Hopefully Mark will send more Melbourne pics in my absence so you can stay updated on our time in Australia!

Mornington Peninsula
















Mark, Todd and I visited the Mornington Peninsula last weekend. Here are some pictures from our day trip! We ate at the Pig and Whistle Pub, drove through several small towns, stopped at scenic lookout points, and stood atop the cliffs overlooking the beach in Port Sea. The peninsula will be a great place for us to visit in the Summer.

Melbourne Aqaurium





















Sunday we continued our animal tour and visited the Melbourne Aquarium. Look at the fabulous sea creatures: sting rays, an eagle ray (Allison's most favorite sea creature) nurse sharks, sea dragon (yellow, looks like a seahorse), giant crab, sea turtle, gigantic blue fish (seriously it was huge),etc. Mark is pictured in front the Crown Casino, the only high-end casino in town (there are many small slot/ poker outposts in the city called "pokies"). The Crown Casino is gorgeous with tons of high-end shopping and eateries. Not to mention the slots and tables....I lost 2 bucks on the slots. Oh well. The next pictures are views of our neighborhood from Bill's apartment in a high rise and a snap of Bill and me. Bill is an editor who works with Mark on "The Pacific War". We went to dinner that eve at a local joint called "The Local".
Love Always,
Alexis
