Went to 'town'

We walked about 20 minutes into town… stopped in at the mall,

Cole's is a grocery store- right in the middle of the mall!

We, of course, had a latte, a hot chocolate and some yummy cakes...








We went to the cinema- if you say ‘Movie Theater’ they don’t have any idea what you are talking about, and if you go to the 9:45 a.m. showing... it is a private showing! Totally Fun!


We tried to figure out how to pay for a train ride (evidently, they are in midst of changing thier rail system here in the Melbourne Metro area), so that had to wait for another day… the sign with directions about how to drive there was even a little confusing.



We stopped in a pet shop just for fun. They do love their dog here. Some people take their dogs everywhere, even to the coffee shops and such.


We did a bit of window shopping…



Notice the Chemist shop... not a pharmacy!   


Lots of reminders of folks we love... silk yarn from Nepal- for our knitting friends.


Our 'go to the movies' friends...Hey Mr. J


Ecletic shops that reminded of our 'eclectic' friends.
Salvos shops that reminded us of our Salvation Army/Goodwill shopping friends....

Poppy's Thai cuisine... Hi Poppy!



And a quilting shop that remind us of our quilting friends...


We miss you all very much!



And then the crossing guard ladies helped us across the street and we headed 'home'!
