The numbers are in!

For some reason the DVD of my trip photos are MIA. However, J1 so kindly has been uploading it to my ftp site. We think I finally have them all! If I look at the sequence of numbers, I officially took 4956 photos on my vacation. Wonder how many I'll take in Vegas?!

I wonder how long it will take me to go through them?

Still no photos J1.

I've taken a bit of a break with the vacation blogs, I'm still waiting for the DVD to show up with the first 1600-2000 photos of my trip. Somehow the first set was lost between Sydney and Toronto, hopefully this second dvd will make it here.

If you've made the effort in reading the end of the trip blogs already, just be aware that there are missing posts in between that will show up once I organize my photos and thoughts.

Happy Reading.

Anything can happen

A couple of days ago I left my post for a few minutes, and when I came back there was a giant boot sitting there with a few giftbags inside. Today there is just the empty boot gracing the lobby of our office, we've decided this is how we'll let people know that they're getting the "boot", by leaving it on their desk.

Babushka does Melbourne!

Ready to head out for the day.

Day 12 - Yarra River Cruise

I highly recommend taking a Yarra River Cruise while you're in Melbourne. Even though the weather was overcast and sometimes drizzling, this perspective of the city was superb. Check out the complete series of photos by clicking on the header.

Day 13 - Swanston Street

The Pigeons of Melbourne and this flower shop are a couple of my favourite things to see on Swanston Street. No matter how dreary the day is, these two places can cheer anyone up!
