I arrived back in Australia yesterday afternoon after a nice Fall trip back to Colorado. It was especially nice seeing friends we haven't seen in a few months. We miss them! Too bad they didn't take to the Vegemite more, which could be a strike against them when we get back. Maybe next time I'll bring back some meat pies.
To follow-up on Heather's last post on transportation, I thought I might add a few things. Oddly, after biking and driving on the left side of the road for 3 and a half months, I now feel more comfortable driving here than in Colorado. It was disorienting pulling out of the rental car parking lot at DIA. And the whole trip I kept mixing up which lever was the wipers, and which the turn signal.
As Heather mentioned, we are doing a car share. Each of the cars has a silly name such as G'Day, Dorcus, Pro, or Taco. Today we rented Tardis:
For non-Dr. Who fans, the TARDIS is a time machine with interior much bigger than the small exterior:
Not sure if the name fit in this case.
When not driving on the weekends, we typically get around by train, tram, and bike. I have a 15 mile roundtrip ride to work along the beach. I'll definitely miss this ride when we leave!
