Hmmm...no posting for Thursday...that's because I technically missed out on Thursday...I don't know where it went, but I believe I'll get it back when I re-cross the international dateline upon my return. All went well with the flights; I actually dozed for a good chunk of time on the LA-MEL flight, so it didn't seem quite as long as I'd anticipated. Cleared immigration and customs, hopped aboard the shuttle and reached Melbourne by mid morning. Not ready to succumb to impending jet lag, I took advantage of the gorgeously sunny winter day by meandering along the riverfront and through the lane ways to get a feel for this city that is to be my home-away-from-home for the next three weeks. Two big challenges for the day have been to remember to look right-left-right before crossing the streets (backward and non-instinctual, but I'm sure I'll grasp it quickly) and to get my wifi working (which is why these posts are a bit tardy). Now late afternoon, jet lag is creeping up and closing in on me....my eyes are getting heavy and I feel like I've lost my sharp wit...may be time to give in and take a nap.
