Springing forward

For daylight savings, we will be springing forward by one hour while North America (and other parts of the northern hemisphere) will be falling back, widening the time difference between Melbourne and the U.S. to 16-19 hours, depending on the time zone. That's up to more than 3/4 of a day!

On another note, a few weeks ago, I went on a weekend trip to Anglesea beach, about a 2 hour drive west of Melbourne. I was actually on a Catholic (Ignatian) retreat. No, I'm not Catholic. So why was I there? Well, let's just say it had something to do with another fun "translation" by my friend Monica (the one from Mexico), whereby "Catholic retreat" became "beach trip" by the time it got to me. But the beach and scenery were still beautiful. To see more pics, click here.
