It's the weekend!

Last night (Friday night) we went to our friends house (Ben & Kylie) and went to this gourmet pizza shop. It is in a lovely location and serves the best pizzas! They also serve dessert pizzas, which may sound unappealing, but they are magnificent! The owner regularly enters into international pizza making competitions and won in New York a few years ago. Now, that may not sound such a big deal, but coming from Australia and winning a pizza competition in New York is quite impressive!

Here is a picture of Kylie and myself. I'm on the left.




Also, I thought it would be fun to post a photo that I took earlier in the year to show you just how beautiful Australia is (or at least a part of it). Many of you in the US have been mentioning the first snow falls that have been happening lately in the lead up to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Well, it doesn't snow here at all (in this part of Australia anyway), but we sure do have magnificent beaches! The following photo was taken on Australia Day (26 January) this year at our local beach (about 10 minutes from my house). Australia Day signifies the date when the First Fleet from Britain landed in Sydney Cove on the 26 January 1788. The fleet carried many convicts, due to a few things that happened, including the American war of Independence, Britain needed a new place to send its convicts. And when you look at Australia on a map, it was the perfect place - we're one big beautiful island - obviously surrounded by sea! Anyway, I took the photo just as the sun was setting - my friend Camille was pregnant with her daughter (she had her three days later!) and the little boy is her son.
