Library Bar Returns & Melbourne

The day before NZ won the Rugby World Cup we took Regan to the Library Bar. We lounged around looking at the BEST books! Books about cats in OZ and Melbourne, Australia published in 1968! I couldn't help but take photos of this book, and the people around me could see me sneaking in photos. I hope I can get my hands on my own copy one day.

And here are the amazing photo gems from "Melbourne" circa late 1960s.

Melbourne, Australia 2010

Exactly one year ago, we went to Melbourne, Australia! It was my first time there, and I instantly fell in love with the city. If you've never been there, it's a MUST. Some say it's the London of the Southern Hemisphere.

Since we were so busy planning for the wedding and our old computer just about died, the videos I recorded never made it on to a video...UNTIL NOW!

Please excuse the cheesiness in my video. :)

I actually thought about this song the whole time we wandered around the city.
