Aussie BBQ

My first legit Aussie Barbie. With a group of French people that don't speak much English. The water is so pretty, but full of sharks! I was assured in broken English that they swim here all the time and never see sharks. Comforting. Food was delicious, but sausage on white bread doesn't quite compare to hot dogs.

Everyone talks about Chuck Norris when I tell them I'm from Dallas. Figures.

Adelaidia

Here is the magical waterfront of Adelaide. Makes Buffalo's seem like a world-class city! I miss the 716.

Tweeting

I love the birds here! They all have unique looks and even the "plain" ones have bright beaks or feathers. Plus the fact that we keep these guys in zoos, here they're everywhere!

Fringe Festival

So the festival kicked off last night with a giant parade. And by giant I mean half of south Australia. There were camels, zombies and everything else under the sun walking down King William Street. Oh, and a huge pyrotechnics show?!

Chris and I got really great pictures because we went up to the balcony of some (far too high) class bar.

We then met up with Frank and made our way over to the Garden of Unearthly Delights. Lampshades hanging from trees, carnival themed tents and shockingly affordable beer. It was like something out of Alice in Wonderland.

Ending the night on a cultural note, we went for $5 margaritas at Zambreros.

Tonight is promised to be just as crazy.

Our first classy evening!

We went to a jazz concert last night at a place called "La Bohem". Frank does the tech stuff for their shows so we got
to meet the bar owner and have some drinks outside in between pieces.

I'm recently obsessed with Instagram as it makes even my terrible photography look intriguing.

The second photo is how we do tequila shots here... With a grapefruit chaser! Caramelized sugar on the top. Again, not quite the same.

Let us not talk of the weather...

So this is a picture I took of the sky today at the beach. Never seen anything like this, so I googled it! Here's what it's about... http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/22°_halo

Sadly it doesn't involve aliens or the Mayans or anything cool. Just ice crystals.

Cultural Corona Controversy

Went out to lunch, ordered a Corona. What I didn't expect was a little lemon wedge! Corona and lime is apparently FAR less popular than Corona and lemon here.

It tasted terrible. Like a hoppy kool-aid...
