The Rest of Melbourne

Other highlights from Melbourne include gambling in a casino for my first time and winning $48. It was a crown achievement for me at the Crown Casino.

I went to a Belgian beer cafe in the Central Business District and found my favorite Belgian beer.

I strolled through the South Wharf area and the Docklands with my fiance. It seems that my finger wanted to be in the photo, too.

We wondered how much the condos cost here.

Melbourne is brimming with modern artwork.

The rest of the photos are ones that I stole from my mom. This is Al's Aunt Susie, my mom, Grumpy (Al's grandma), me and my dad. At this point in our holiday, it was unseasonably cold. You can tell by our outfits.

This was our last  night in Melbourne. We took a picture in Southbank with the skyline in the background before dinner.

We all miss you, Melbourne! Guys, if I could live in any city in Australia, it would be Melbourne. It's always full of life and interesting things to do. It reminds me of Chicago in a lot of ways.

Queensland Flood Crisis
This Queensland flood crisis is horrible. The official death toll is up to 12, although the amount of missing people is down to 43. The Brisbane River keeps rising, and it may flood up to 50 of the suburbs. The Brisbane floods are expected to peak tomorrow morning at 5.2 meters (about 17 feet). There are more flash flood warnings in other parts of the state. 
Look at these pictures here to get a better idea of the scope of the floods. Most of them are from the end of the year, when the first of the disasters began.

Jen, great pix! The ones of Australian flooding are heartbreaking and everyone should see those. It's even sadder to know that those floods were before this week wne Brisbane flooded. My prayers are with the wonderful people of Australia.

    I am  a Chicago-based Registered Dietitian working primarily in Acute Clinical Care. I started this blog in 2010, before I even knew that I wanted to be an RD! Now, as an active dietitian, this blog will become part of my life again. Read about my current healthy habits, but please peruse my old posts (from 2014 and before) to read about life as an RD student and my previous years in Australia!
