So after we dropped off Dad and Theresa at the airport in Melbourne, Justin and I stayed the rest of the weekend there exploring! This was our second trip there and we have one more planned at the end of April. The building above is Flinders Street Station. I think it is a really cool old train station.
This is Federation Square. There is a high possibility that there are pictures of these in the blog I did the last time we were in Melbourne.
This the Eureka Tower. One of the tallest buildings in Melbourne.
While we were there, the Food and Wine Festival was happening. We didn't go, but we thought this giant plate and fork were pretty cool!
On Sunday morning we were taking a walk and came upon this male only toilet in the middle of the city. There was no female toilet in sight. Behind the green wall is just one single urinal. This was the oddest placed toilet I had ever seen!
Our first stop on our Sunday excursion was to Captain Cook's Cottage. Captain Cook was one of the first Europeans to discover Australia. He came into Sydney and name Botany Bay. This was his house when he lived in England. It was built in like 1777 and it was brought over to Australia piece by piece and was reconstructed in Melbourne in like the 1930s (or I could be way off and they rebuilt in the 1800's I forget!)
This is the kitchen.
This is one of doorways in. I liked how they made a little welcome mat out of stones!
This is a statue of Captain Cook. He was a tall man, standing at 6ft. 3.
Out in the garden you could take pictures and send home a post card of yourself like an olden days person. This is me as a guy.
This is Justin as a girl!
Our last stop of the day was to visit the Exhibition Hall. We tried to visit last time we were in Melbourne, but it was closed. It is a World Heritage Site because it is so old and it is still used as an exhibition hall today.

So that is all! This weekend should be nice and relaxed On Tuesday, my friends from Baylor are coming to visit!! I am excited to see them! I have less than a month left of work and we have just over a month until we come home. I am pretty sad about leaving here! Australia is by far the coolest place ever!! We miss you all and see you all soon!
