Canberra

Sorry we have not posted any new pictures lately but we were not going to pay $30 for a single day of internet access in our hotel. Canberra is the capitol of Australia and is a beautiful city but certainly not on the scale of DC. We spent 2 days sightseeing between checking in at the US Embassy. Sights included the Parliament House, Australia National Museum, and the Questacon (a joint Australia/Japan Science exhibit). Yesterday, we spent a fair amount of time walking about. The pollen levels were severely high and Alex was in a significant amount of discomfort from his allergies. We are now on our way to Perth where Paul will report aboard and start his two year tour as an exchange officer. Come back soon for pictures of Canberra.
