Cranbourne

I left the city yesterday and took a train south for about 45 minutes to the town of Cranbourne. I thought the place I was going to was called Merinda Park but that's just the name of the train stop. It was pretty tough walking to the train station in Melbourne (Flinders Street Station) from my hotel with my two heavy backpacks. I might have to offload some more stuff one of these days. My host, Rick, picked me up from the train station and took me with him to his study group at a friend's house. They are training to be vertical rescuers, like for people who fall off cliffs or roofs. It was pretty interesting and all his friends were very nice. After the meeting, we went home to his house. He's really nice and was generous enough to bring me with him to the gym today ... for 2 1/2 hours! I got a great workout, especially because we biked to the gym and back. Thankfully I didn't get hit by a car, which is always my fear when riding a bike; I didn't even have any close calls. :)

Now we're at Rick's mom's house. She's on vacation but her adorable little dog is here. I got to give him a bath earlier today! 

I miss Ty Ty!!! Ok we're heading out soon so I gotta go. Just wanted to give you a little update. :)
