Streets of Melbourne
Saturday, June 15, 2013
Southbank is a beautiful part of the city that Ari and I rarely visited as residents of Melbourne. There's so much to see and do and it is so richly cultural and historic, it's hard not to see the appeal of Melbourne even as the sky darkened and the rain started again for the sixth time that morning.

Today we were enchanted by a street performer, Pasty Face Mancini who was being bound into chains while buckled up in a straight jacket by audience participants. We stopped to enjoy his charmingly witty and talented escape as he continually referred to us as "the best audience he ever had".
Street performers is something you would never encounter in Bahrain.

For dinner we visited the ever vibrant Lygon Street for some hearty Italian to soak up the residual alcohol still in our system. We took a walk down to Brunetti's only to find that it was no longer in business. What a terrible shame! But my crushing sorrow for the closing of Brunetti's was too easily forgotten and eased by the choosing and subsequent devouring of gelato.
No more Brunetti's and profiterole cake that I loved so much.

Ice cream! Isn't winter just the best weather for it?
