Meeting friends on the street

It is happening! Today we met several people who have come to Melbourne to attend the Parliament as we were walking down the street. Recognizing people on a street half-way around the world is a joyful and wondrous experience! We shared travel stories, mobile phone numbers and hotel locations, and expressed our excitement to be exploring Melbourne on foot.

Today the weather provided a beautiful Spring day (temps in the 60's, sunshine and a few clouds, and a stiff breeze) so exploring the town on foot was a pleasure. As we continue to walk around the city, I expect we will encounter others as our numbers grow. I have yet to meet my first Portlander, but I know that in a day or so, all will have arrived and we will find each other!
