My high school exchange student from Queensland, Marilyn, has a son and daughter-in-law, Brendan and Tamara, who live in Melbourne. We had the extreme pleasure of spending the afternoon and evening with them on Friday. They treated us like royalty with an elaborate lunch on an old refurbished tram car turned into a restaurant. The tram car drove around the city while we drank champaign and ate pâté, kangaroo (more like beef than chicken!), a lovely Australian fish, and then the main course of beef and veggies followed by cheeses. All of this was accompanied by a lovely Australian red wine. Brendan is working on a degree in philosophy and Tamara is an architect specializing in hospitals. They also took us to see the splendid State Library - which is one of their favorite buildings in Melbourne. after another real tram ride or two we ended the evening at a delightful Greek restaurant. Thank you, Brendan and Tamara, for your warm welcome and generous hospitality! We hope to see you in the States one of these days! I can't wait to see your Mum!
