On the Bottom Half

The End of the Beginning

The Solar Car is now done for a while. I hope not forever. This morning, I sent Garett off, and I'm officially on my own.

I phoned a family that I met while in Adelaide and they are going to put me up for a few days, so I'll likely be in Melbourne for a while yet. I have all my bags yet, however, so I don't think I'm going to try do too much today. I hate endings, but I guess without them, you can't begin something new...

Yesterday was interesting, though. Garett and I went out for some bona fide sight seeing and spent the day downtown. We went to Federation Square, which is a central complex in the city with funky angular architecture; the Patchi chocolate shop, which is Garett's favourite, and where I was offerred a job should I still be in Melbourne over Christmas. Lunch was at a swank Italian restaurant on the river bank (the Yarra River), then we spent the balance of the day in the Royal Botanical Gardens - very pretty. Pizza and wine in celebration of a trip well executed and bed.

Race anecdote: upcoming in next blog!
