Week 1....You Had me at 'ello!

So its been an interesting week here in Melbourne....getting used to life in the Southern Hemisphere! First of all - 30 SPF. That's all I have to say about sunscreen here. Yes, 30! I, Stephanie T. Anelli, local sun goddess of the northeast, has been forced to wear 30 SPF EVERY DAY! Evidently the hole in the Ozone has landed right above Australia, and if I'd like to keep my youth...as quickly as its fading ;) ... its a must!...

Otherwise, we've been acclimating ourselves to the time difference, and not being able to talk to you guys as much as we'd like to - but we have made some new friends who are helping us feel better....take a look!

The above were taken at Healesville Sanctuary - we headed there via a tour provided to us by our sponsoring law school here. The day was spent first riding an Authentic Steam Train (the Puffing Billy), watching sleeping Koalas (look closely, that guy is frozen in that position), seeing various Australian Wildlife, and capping it off with a winery tour at the Rochford Vineyard.

We also made some human friends - in fact 2 in particular, Erin & Steve, had a dinner party for their new American friends tonight - people here are sooo nice!!!


What else have we done...well Elliot found home one day last week! We were walking around and just stumbled upon it :)
