Woke up to blue skies. Decided to go to the beach. Somewhat predictably (again!) by the time lunch had been gotten, a parking place found, and walked to the beach it was getting overcast. Made it through lunch (about twenty minutes) before it started to rain (just a few drops). Gave up and headed to the movies. Saw "Double Jeopardy" - I enjoyed it, but it wasn't fantastic.
Met up with Laura, who I traveled with in Syria, at a bar in Kings Cross. Spent a few hours catching up and went back to her place to look at her photos from her trip and some recent paintings. She got back last August after two and a half years away from Australia. Her sister, Jean (also traveled with in Syria), is still on the road - in South America now!
