All dolled up!!
First Stop...a walk through a park in Abbotsford at dusk. There is a convent on the property and a children's farm....... no, not farming children...a farm for them...or wait..even that sounds weird. Regardless, it was beautiful and a bit of a challenging walk but well worth it.
Most of the path is cut into the side of a hill like so...
A pretty picture of the convent across the way.
Melbourne at dusk.
The sky was the most amazing shade of purple I have ever seen. I can't believe the camera captured so much...
Breathtaking...
Me and the purple sky....
Mr. Nice himself...
After several attempts we finally managed this shot...but we mastered it with supermodel precision.
My charming escort was kind enough to take me to "The Retreat Hotel." It's a restaurant folks...don't think dirty. It is a bit of a landmark here in Melb as it is featured on a superpopular Aussie soap opera.
Amazing food that almost didn't make the photo....
Turkish bread with dip. Salt and Pepper Calamari, lightly breaded and served with a baby arugala salad. Last and best, a pumkin parcel (acorn squash to us) with spinach, feta and pastry shell over herb cream. Heaven...
Strawberry Crepes with Grand Marnier cream and Ice Cream...mmmmmm.
On our way home we spotted some elusive midnight sunflowers.
Thanks to Mr. Nice for such a wonderful evening. A man of many talents, in addition to the successful launching of his corporation, he is also an accomplished musician, successful DJ, and exceptional artist/animator. And most importantly he is a hummus expert, making him already one of my favorite people.
