Australia (Part 2)

So, we've been here a full week. A week of reading books, playing cards, taking walks, sipping coffee, taking naps, applying sunscreen, prawn fishing, more walks, sipping gin, more cards, and lots of eating. 

A few highlights:​

We flew for 17 hours from Los Angeles to Melbourne. LOTS of movies. ​

We arrived at 8am local time, and I somehow managed to stay up all day until about 9pm. We got loopy toward the end, for sure. Giggling like punchy little kids.  

I ordered Iced Coffee and was given cold coffee with ice cream floating in it! Drank the whole thing anyway, of course. Maybe they know my birthday is coming up...

We took a long sunny walk (actually a few). 

Walked near the Yarra River. 

Went kangaroo spotting! (And ate some kangaroo as well, shh) 

I've been taking TONS of photos that I'll share once I return and get some editing time with my computer. Only brought my phone and iPad here, and am enjoying spending very little time in front of screens.  

We visited an art museum at Federation Square in downtown Melbourne.  

And then spent 3 days at Lake Tyers Beach, where I discovered the softest sand, the greenest beach forest, and a very natural talent for prawn fishing. 

We've got 2 more days in Melbourne before we hop on another plane. Today we're sipping iced long blacks (americano) and heading to Victoria Market. Later we'll relax by the pool and I'll probably finish my second book for the week.  

Finishing up today's breakfast: 

Maura & Peter

You know those couples who just fit together like puzzle pieces and are very very different but somehow simultaneously the perfect balance for one another? 

I love those couples.  

Maura and I met in college nearly....seven (?!) years ago.   

Peter and I met two weeks ago when they asked me to shoot their engagement session.  

First time to Pittsburgh. Won't be the last. We explored an empty church, rode The Incline, braved the cold, and got snowed on on the bridge where they got engaged last year.

Can't wait for your wedding, you goobers! 

Australia (Part 1)

It's my first time in Australia. I'm here with my mom, dad, and brother Dana. 

36 hours ago we walked out of my apartment in Queens. 

We sat on planes for 23 hours, during 8 of which, I slept. 

I've watched at least 6 movies and over 15 episodes of television. 

I'm on my 5th coffee of the day. It's now 2:56pm in Melbourne, Australia.  

It's currently 11:56pm YESTERDAY in Queens.  

Doing all this math has made my brain even more confused than it already was.

More pictures forthcoming.
