I spent the day at the beach with my sister, her BF, Matt, and his boys, Matthew and Jacob.
Matthew spent the day capturing jellyfish.
Jill spent the day getting stung.
Jacob spent the day peeing in a bucket and pouring it on Jill’s stings.
We all spent the day laughing.

I haven't seen a Kangaroo, but I just ate one

Posted by Monica Danna on Feb 10, 2008 in travel

It’s true. Those cute hopping fuzzy marsupials are actually considered pests here in Australia, and they club ‘em and eat up just like we would a deer. I was fascinated to learn that Australia’s national animal, the animal many Westerners associate with the land down under, was to be on my plate for lunch.

And mightI add, YUM-O! Very close to the consistency of beef (if you were wondering.) I got over the shock real quick, and had another bite.

Kangroo! on the plate

After the Sunday morning surfing lesson with Russell, Callan and Margot picked us up at the hotel and we headed for Fremantle, a beach town just southwest of Perth.

Sunday Session. No, not a church service, and far from it. It’s Perth’s equivalent to Houston’s Sundae Fundae, so naturally I was game for that.

We started out at Little Creatures Brewery for some local brews. Good stuff. Actually, all the beer here I’ve had has been most excellent. Barking Duck still my fav.

We spent the rest of the afternoon in true Sunday Session and hopped around from bar to bar having a blast. Then, back to the hotel for some pool time. The sun here is HOT. And beer seeping from your pores I’m sure doesn’t help. :-)

Back in the room now, getting ready for a week working in the Perth office. Thinking about this week, and the 4 short days I’ll be home Friday before heading back out to London, Amsterdam and Bahrain. All I can think is LAUNDRY! Oh and Dr. Sketchy! Don’t forget, this Sunday Feb 17th! I hope to see some of your mugs there, cuz i missus them.

More from Perth soon. Cheers, loves!
