The Sailor Went to Sea, Sea, Sea

While I may not be a sailor going out to sea, I did manage to see what I could see, see, see... Now that I’ve been here a week, I’ve been able to get around some and see the sights. Those sights being Fremantle, Cottesloe Beach, and the city of Perth itself of course.

Fremantle is the port city to Perth about a twenty minute bus ride south. It's a quaint little city full of little cafes and the Freo Markets. It's pretty good looking (to be read as "eets preety goood loookeeng" like Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite)...

Moving up a bit north now, Breana and I made our way to the beautiful Cottesloe Beach and Indian Ocean for the first time. Be sure to take note of the excitement on Breana's face so that you too might become a little happier inside even though you may not currently be at the beach... or one so beautiful as this. Also, the water was just gorgeous.

Finallly returning to the city, we had our first meal of fish and chips. It was marvelous. Perth is experiencing a gigantic boom at the moment due to a growth in the mining industry a little bit north of the city, so there is a lot of construction going on at the moment. I could count as many as eight cranes in the city skyline while looking at it from across the bay. How many can you spot in this picture? I got four. I'll get a better picture of the city on a sunnier day for you sometime... I pinky promise.

And that's that. I hope that you all have noticed that there is a joke of the day that I added to the blog. I will try to keep the good ones coming, but please excuse me if they resemble "Dad" jokes too much... I've actually acquired a new appreciation for those kinds of jokes over the past few years.
