What have we been up to, you might ask! well, since our trip to Portland, we have been hanging out in Melbourne and having a good time! We went to a 2 day music festival on lygon street with Shannon, Kevin, Libby and Tom and had a good time drinking beers in the sun. Since then, the next exciting event was Jessica's hen's night (their word for a bachelorette party. weirdos) which was awesome! it was hawaii themed, so there were many a grass skirt and pina colada to be found! Unfortunately, that day decided to be really rainy and really cold (we're talking canada in the fall) and the party was at the botanical gardens, so we were all chilly! but! we toughed it out and the party ended up being super awesome. after our outdoor adventures, we went to dinner at "la camera" restaurant for the remainder of the party. good times!!

Two day ago, we went for a walk down Brunswick street and that was awesome. It was hot out and brunswick street is a happening place! it's basically the whyte ave of Melbourne (or that area of Melbourne anyway). And then yesterday, Jean Michel and I went to the zoo! Finally! it was really really cool. we saw a lot of animals. weird. haha anyways! it was a really nice zoo and we were just happy to see some real live kangaroos and koalas and gorillas and more! plus, the weather improved and it was about +28 that day! yay!

Today, we have been relaxing, we went for a walk, and now we're at the library, writing this blog for you! yes you!

Our upcoming events are Jessica's wedding on December 6th in Halls Gap, Christmas in Portland with the Mibuses and then Tasmania immediately after for new years! I will write again before all the fun filled times, but I probably won't be able to do alot of writing around christmas and just after, but I will do my best!

The more we think about christmas, the more we know how much we'll miss being home with you all! and the snow! (yes, I said it)

A bientot! we love you!

Lisa and Jean Michel

Ahhhhh Lisa!!! You finally left for Australia! YAY!!!!! I loved Melbourne when I was there. Jason and I only stopped there for a few days to drop off our 'Wicked' Van, but it was like zero degrees, so my toes were freezing. I'm enjoying your blogs (I just found out about them today...from facebook :)

Anyways, stay safe and ENJOY every moment of your time in a faraway land. I'm jealous x
