Hey! Today we went the the Victorian Market and I spent just about all the money I brought with me. The market was amazing! It had everything, including fresh produce, meats, prize winning wine, homemade jams, Aboriginal artwork, sportswear, resaurants, and so much more. Practically anything you could think of, they had it. We met the owner of an Aboriginal store, where they sell authentic pieces decorated with beautiful designs and colors. I could have bought everything in the store, my friends had to drag me out. The owner was of Aboriginal decent and one of the nicest people I've ever met. She was so proud of her heritage and was truely grateful for the support we gave her shop. She explained how things had been hard and she had prayed this day would come. We promised her that if we ever came back to the city, we would be sure to visit her at her store once again.

Tonight we are going to an AFL game to watch the Essendon Bombers take on the Sydney Swans. I am cheering for the Bombers because of the warm hospitality they showed us while attending a practice earlier in the week. Their coach, who we all met and talked with, is a hall of fame player and it is still amazing to me how genuine and humble he was. We have prime seats for the game, so I will be sure to post lots of pictures from the game!
