Souveniers

A couple of funny notes about souveniers...

1. I will be lucky to escape Australia without a didgiridoo. Pat keeps saying that he doesn't want to bring one home but more frequently he mentions how it would be cool to have one. We thought the kids were loud with their band-in-a-bag set.

2. We tried kangaroo jerky today. Pat liked it, I almost puked. Lucky for me, we found out that we cannot bring it back in through US Customs. I hope this isn't too disappointing for any of our friends back home.

3. We are going to try to bring home some Vegemite (our neighbors want to try it) so let me know if you are interested and I'll save you a spoonful.

4. They have "aboriginies" down at the ferry dock playing their didgiridoos with techno music pumping in the background and for the right price you can buy one of their cd's or an "authentic" boomerang or better yet, get your picture taken with them while they hold their didgiridoo and boomerang. Some of these "aboriginies" look an awful lot like a white guy with a decent tan and some matted hair. the only thing that would make it worse would be if they had a chained up kangaroo who they would get to pose for pics with them.

5. Someone who will not be named bought two hats while he was here - one of them made from Kangaroo. To be fair, he looks good in the hats but I have to bust his chops for buying a roo hat. Here is a pic of the kids wearing his hats. Enjoy!
