Mom the photos of me talking to you on skype...creepy. Melbourne is absolutely beautiful. It is the dead of winter which is around 50 Fahrenheit which is not cold at all. This town is cool though it has its own culture unique to Melbourne like Aussie Rules Football which is an awesome sport. The funniest thing has to be that the people do not jaywalk here. They all wait for the little green man before crossing the road. Us Americans, English, and Europeans are amazed by the patience of the Aussies to wait to cross the road. School starts next week so I will see if they have a different style of teaching then we do in the USA. The pictures attached are of a scavenger hunt and some of them do not make much sense.
Till next time

Morning (for us) coffee with Jonathan
This morning, thanks to modern technology, we had our morning cup of coffee with Jonathan in Melbourne, Australia! We sat out on our deck enjoying a beautiful summer morning in Georgia and Jonathan was in his room in Melbourne. I just LOVE and appreciate modern technology! Skype is awesome!

Jonathan has moved into his apartment
Jonathan made it safely to Melbourne! He has been in a temporary dorm since Monday while he attended the orientation at the university, but moved into his permanent campus apartment today. He says it is in an old renovated hotel and that it has a balcony that over looks the pool. Sounds nice! He also briefly met his new room mate, a young man named Alex from England. All is good and Jonathan is very pleased with his set up there. We are so happy for him to be having this study abroad experience!
