mt. coot-tha botanical gardens


we've been here a week, and the jet lag is just now wearing off... which means that our first week in town wasn't the most productive. a lot of blank stares and afternoon coffees.

the best way to handle jet lag, we think, is to walk it off. if you've ever come to visit us, you know that we're big believers in the just-off-the-plane-epic-walk... so last sunday, kp and i walked over to the mt. coot-tha botanical gardens so we could play with the new camera. well, *i* played with it. he just walked around smiling at me. 

i broke it out before we even got there...


    


welcome to australia, land of spiders, snakes, scorpions, centipedes, jellyfish, sharks, kanga, dingo....
