Good morning! (Or good afternoon to most of you. . . it's 7:45 Thursday morning here and it's almost 3:15 PM yesterday in Flagstaff). We just got up from sleeping in a hotel bed once again. Today will be our museum day: Museum of South Australia, Tandanya Aboriginal Cultural Institute, and maybe the Central Market. The guide books are right when they talk about this being a haven for foodies. We walked along the street where our hotel is (because it is known for its many restaurants) and all the menus looked good. We chose an Italian restaurant because we hadn't had that type of food for awhile. We're going to try some of the restaurants advertising Mod Oz food as that apparently uses lots of spices and edible things from all over Australia. We've already tried kangaroo and emu and thought they were both kind of chewy. And, no, they did not taste like chicken! I would have described them as more sausage-y. We didn't have any bugs yet but I would be willing to try honey ants if we see them. They were in the outback. They are ants that can bloat up their stomachs with honey which they store to feed the younger ants in the colony. The aborigines eat them like candy and I'd like to try them.
We've decided that we are going to buy another suitcase. After lugging them from the airport (and they even put a sign on mine that said "heavy case, bend knees to lift"!) we need to get some of the things out of both our cases and just add that to our bundles. We'll take care of that this morning too. Lots to see here so we're going to get started. But first, off to a pastry shop for some fresh bread and coffee!!
