After over 35 hours of travel time, I have finally arrived in sunny Melbourne!! It was a very long, tiring trip and it felt like I would never get here (and it didn't help that the plane food was revolting and my tv was pretty much broken), but I did! Its about + 30 and i'm loving it! Jean Michel was happy to see me and i was about 400 times happier to see him after my long 2 days! Since yesterday, he has gotten quite sick and we're going to go to a doctor tomorrow. he's in bed right now with a terrible fever. We tried to get him to a doctor today but had no luck (saturdays are bad days!) and so we'll go tomorrow. He thinks it's food poisoning from Bali...and he's not having a good time! but as soon as we get him some medicine, everything should be good.

Today we did a lot of walking (looking for a doctor) and we took a few trams to check out a house that we were interested in, but we had to reschedule. So, we visited Shannon and Libby (who happened to live nearby) and then Jean Michel was too exhausted to any more, so we came back so he could sleep.

I love it here though! Jean Michel and I both agree that the city is almost like Edmonton, but so different at the same time. If that makes any sense! I noticed the buildings are all very different and the trees are different as well. Not to mention the population!!! Wow, you can't go anywhere without almost being trampled by stampedes of aussies! but i'm not complaining! It's beauuuutiful!

Sorry this is so short, but my internet time is ticking away, so I will have to continue this next time. I haven't taken many photos, but I will put some up soon!

Stay stuned!

I miss you and love you all! And i'm speaking for both of us!

Until next time!

Lisa and Jean-Michel

Sure i'll stay stuned.
I'm a paradox of deeply pleased that you are having a sweet time, and of deeply saddened that you didn't have anything weird to say in this post.
JM don't be sick! Well, actually do be "sick" as in "sick-awesome" but not ill.
Lisa- don't get him lost on the way t the doctor

LOVE YOU!
