Day 5: City Center and more Fun Australians!

Today we visited with Diana's sister and family at their beautiful historic home in the downtown area of Adelaide. Pam showed us the city highlights by car, and then we toured the Cultural Museum to see the Aboriginal exhibit and the Australian rocks and minerals. We braved the chilling wind to walk home along the river past the university. Once back near Pam's I spotted another, yes, swinging bridge. Luckily we didn't need to cross it. Whew! But guess who needed to cross it and even jog across it while it bounced up and down and my hands sweated and sweated? Yes, Patrick. Well then I needed to just cross it, too. So there!

We had an amazing Aussie barbeque with Diana's family. Pat loved their malamute, Max. I loved their bitsy lap dog named Coconut, when he's at home and "Bruce," when he's at the construction worksite with Dad! We love the sense of humor Australians have, and we enjoy every one of these great evenings!
