melbourne 09: road tweeep part deux

my lost-lost friend, tricia and i caught up over the holidays!! after not seeing her for 14 years, she is EXACTLY the same girl!! and we picked up where we last left off. i think i scared the crap out of my MIL when we flung open her metal front door shieking and hugging! i mean, im usually so shy, proper and ladylike, right? anyway, she describes our relationship and silly stories much better here!

tricia is freakin' awesome. she only recently moved to melbourne but already knows more cute places and fun activities than both boys put together! and her adventurous spirit is infectious! they came round the corner with a yummy picnic basket and whisked us off! life seriously doesn't get better than that.

i mean i was seriously in a melbournian funk. i was mopey and a little discouraged by the prospects of moving to somewhere so far away but in a matter of two short dates, im starting to come round. not 100% sold yet but im getting there slowly.. i mean at least now i would have ONE friend in melbourne..*dramatic tear*


braving mt dandy in our flipflops and sundresses!!


trish and her cutie, edgar!! :) 


at this point, we were rethinking out plan to climb kota kinabalu.. something makes me think that we're not as sporty as before!! *sigh*


beautifully massive trees..


a cutie parakeet and his mid-day snack.. while the kids were snapping away like crazy on their fancy cameras, i went around collecting pretty feathers! one day i will make a fascinator from my little stock-pile of australian bird-feathers. and wear it out for a fancy dinner with my old new friends! :)
