Today started off slowly. I woke up and immediately called various friends and family to wish them a happy Thanksgiving. Some calls were more successful than others at reaching their targets, but it was nice to catch up with some folks (and thanks Skype for the cheap calls!) And then I had an easy morning, except for packing a box to ship stuff home since I've acquired a lot of stuff in my travels.
After that Michelle and I ran a couple of errands and then came back to the house for lunch. Finally, in the later afternoon, we went off to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. I've been there twice before (the last two times I was in Oz), but I still love it. First off, you get to hold a koala and get a photo (they make a webpage for you, too). Second of all, you get to go a field and have kangaroos and wallabies eat out of your hand. Plus the emus chase you around. Awesome!
There's not much else to narrate besides that. We visited, saw the animals trying to stay cool in the hot hot heat, and then came back. But here's what you want to see... cute animals!! Of course Flat Stanley got a closeup with many of them, too. :)
Michelle got to join me (there's another with flat stanley, too)
Kangas and wallabies:
I thought he was going to eat Flat Stanley:
The koalas find every imaginable way to sleep, and none of them look comfortable:
I swear this wombat is actually alive, just sleeping in a totally splayed out position. It was very hot, after all!
This evening Mark, Michelle, and I went out for a lovely Thai dinner. Yum. Tomorrow is a fun activity, but I'll leave that as a surprise. Then it's a steak lunch and off to the airport to head to Sydney. Looking forward to the next leg, but I'll miss Brisbane and my lovely hosts!
