First Weekend in Canberra


First full weekend in Canberra complete. Yes, I realize its Tuesday. But the weekend was not officially over before QB #3 threw the final interception for the Bears approximately noon on Monday, which I had the pleasure (?) to watch live. Not likely to have too many more events like that. Other than that, had a pretty interesting weekend. Took in our first sporting events here, starting with the local women's professional basketball team on Friday night. Good game in a relatively low-key atmosphere, which meant that Mika was able to walk on the court with a number of other fans after the game to get autographs.



Saturday brought us our first cricket match on the field across the street. At least thats what we thought was going on when we left to go look at houses mid-morning. Confirmation came when we returned mid-afternoon and the same match was still going on (could have been a double-header, but I don't think they do that in cricket. At least not since the Geneva conventions were signed off on in '49).




Also, balloons. Big ones.
