Day 2 - More exploring

Yesterday (Sunday) we met up with my friend Ursula from the Museum of the Earth, who now lives here in Melbourne, and did some more exploring of the city. We visited several markets, which were interesting, and the central farmer's market, which was pretty neat. Then we had burgers at a great little place she knew in one of the Arcades, and then it was time to register for the conference and to practice our talks. The Melbourne Convention Center is gorgeous, and I'll take more pictures of it today as I've over there for the conference. Rachel and I give our talks today, so hopefully all will go well! Jon is going to seek out coffee shops in which to work, and we'll meet up again for dinner with fern people.
