Melbourne - May 4

Began my day at Patsy's bother in laws and tried Vegemite. Can't say it was good, but the way they put it on their toast I could hardly taste it.
Then Patsy and I were off to get me situated at Base Backpackers. Co-ed rooms which I wasn't prepared for so I moved to the ladies only area.
Once there we headed down town. What a fabulous place. I like it here better than Sydney.
Patsy never should have left me. I began to shop and shop and shop. I've really been enjoying it on my trip. It may be because when I travel its the only time I allow myself to buy things for me. How much fun has the last six weeks been.
So by recommendation I just completed my first footy game. It was pretty cool. There were some die hard fans sitting beside me, so that was kind of fun.
I tried there all famous meat pie. I have to be honest. I didn't find it all that spectacular. Mom's stewed meat in a pasty would far surpass my Melbourne experience. Maybe I grew up with too good a cook.
and now I am having Belgian Hot Chocolate. I was going to come back down town tomorrow because Patsy mentioned this place to me. I didn't realize there was more than one shop.
As I was walking away from the Telsta Dome I saw a Starbucks and thought it would be nice to sit for a while until the crowds are gone. But then I thought Starbucks is boring . I can have that at home. so I walked into this Chocolate shop next door. Goody for me. It is the place Patsy recommended. So I am having a real Belgian Milk chocolate - Hot.
I don't need a big cup of this to hit the chocolate button.
This guy across from me is eating this chocolate heap of something. one bite looks like more than I can handle.
How blessed am I.
look at all the firsts I've done today. I can't help but have fun and be excited about what is next.
I do have to say, Melbourne feels a lot like home to me.
My God that was yummy!
