Plan A and Plan B













Hi Gang!
This Sat was supposed to be an outing to the Cleland Wildlife Park to feed koalas and wallaby's. I was too hot. Plan B was a tour of Adelaide with my new friend Julia. Julia is a cousin of my friend John Redmond. This is my second outing with Julia and we had a wonderful time visiting downtown Adelaide. We started at the central market. This market was similar to the Byward Market in Ottawa. It had lots of things I have seen before and many I haven't. There was a Kangaroo Meat shop that sold Roo sausages, Roo meatballs and Roo tenderloin and other parts of the Roo too. We had lunch at a place called the Big Table and I had the BEST sandwhich ever. Ok it was almost as good as your Martina Navratalova one Gord. It had tandori chicken, mango chutney(with a bit of bite) fresh cucumber and fresh cilantro. Yummy! Check out the muffin sign Mandy-I am telling you they are all sweet cakey muffins. I think we could corner the market with my banana flax seed choc chip muffins or my date bran muffins and make our fortunes! After the market we drove around to see some of the sites. We ended up on North Terrace-where the art gallery and museums are. I wanted to check them out for when Amelia comes. We also made a stop at the festival Arts center. I hope to get to see something there.
We stopped at Henley Beach for a coldie-actually I had a lovely red wine that Julia not only recommended but she treated me to. Henley is a very trendy spot and very busy. It was nice to walk out on the jetty and look over at Glenelg. I will put more pictures up later. Right now I have to go get ready for another busy week at school. It's hard work trying to teach all those little possums how to say their vowels properly!
G'day eh!
love,
Bern

Oh yes Mandy can you check with Barb(I may be old but I am not dead yet) McIntyre to make sure she sees the picture of the hottie in the blue bathers-I thought she might enjoy that.
