Adelaide: Day 2

Day 2 was spent in Glenelg, the palindronian suburb of Adelaide. Why go there? Because its on the ocean, that's why. And as I've written about before in this space, I love the ocean.

Glenelg did not disappoint, with a nice relaxed setting in which to enjoy the waves and the beach. Most importantly, the beach had what every good Western Washington beach has: rocks. Finally, an ocean front I was used to. Lots of rocks, minimal sand...like a beach should be.

Lunch is worth noting because it was the two time finalist of the best Fish n' Chips in Adelaide competition, plus it won the award once. Basically, these were going to be great fish n' chips. They were.

Outside of that though, Glenelg was kind of a let down. It was touristy, and it was relaxing, but there wasn't a lot to do. It made for a nice day trip, but it wasn't a good lingering spot, so I hopped on the tram back to Adelaide.

Wallabies game tonight as they begin the Tri-Nations tournament. They're in South Africa to take on the Springboks. Go the Wallabies!

Tomorrow I'll do a little more site seeing in central Adelaide before heading off to the AFL match between Essendon and Port Adelaide. Go the Bombers!

Oh, and happy Father's Day to everyone back home (well, the dads anyway). Father's Day is celebrated in September here, so while I won't be getting a card, I will be home in a week. That should count for something.

And yes I know its only Friday back in the States, and Father's Day is Sunday.

It actually is one week to go,
