In Freo

Just to give you all an update. We arrived safely in in Fremantle (Freo) last evening. Johanna picked us up at the airport and we had a very uneventful drive to their home in downtown Freo. It was Johanna's first solo effort, so she was quite nervous about coming to get us.

When we arrived, Larry was involved in a seminar with his students, which gave us a chance to rest for a minute. As you know we left Raro at 2:00 AM. During the day, we gained a total of seven hours. I can tell you that we were pretty zonked by the time we arrived at 6:30 PM, Aussy-time.

They had planned a tour of the Fremantle prison as part of the seminar course, and we were invited to take part. It was a pretty cool "torch"-light tour. Unfortunately we were not up for much of a party, so the only thing we were thinking about during the tour was a bed and some sleep. We slept the sleep of the dead last night, and woke ready to go at about 6:00.

I am sure that Bubby has taken some photos, so we will update you later because she has already gone to bed. Evidently she is not completely caught up yet.

We have had a wonderful day hanging with the Davises. Bubby and Johanna went to some sort of quilt show in Perth today and Larry and I did a little catching up. Mostly we have just enjoyed being together.
