There's a lot to like about Perth

Bell Tower,

Sorry for leaving you all in the lurch with that last post. I'll return to that story in a little while.

But the latest update I have is the weekend I just spent in Perth, Western Australia. Perth is one of the capital cities, and is on the Indian Ocean. It's a fantastic city with so many great features. This is a photo of one of the distinctive pieces of architecture in the city. It's a bell tower, and it's right downtown on the water.

Perth is at the mouth of the Swan River. Swans are the symbol of the city, but I've also heard it called the Carillon City. The weather is warm, and there is a huge amount of money around. Lots of gold and aluminum, agriculture and shipping. Very beautiful, and they really like their parks and bikes.

More later, but I had a fantastic time, and I plan to go back. If you have a chance, stop by and spend a weekend or a week. And if you have time, do go to the Margaret River and visit the ridiculous number of wineries there.
