Yesterday, we went geocaching - it was so nice to be able to get out in nature and do some treasure hunting at the same time. It was a bit of a windy day, but the sky was blue and the sun was shining, so it was a really good day to be out and about. Dad had downloaded four geocache locations for us to find. We didn't have any luck with the first two even though we spent quite a bit of time searching for them. We found the third one which was a bit of an easy one and we also found the fourth one, although we think that the co-ordinates might have been off a bit. The co-ordinates led us to a stone wall and I checked in every crevice with no luck. Dad then read the clue and it said something about a hinge - there was a gate to the parking lot which was near the wall, so we checked out the hinge area on the gate, but couldn't find anything. We then thought to look at the other end of the gate and we found the geocache inside a part at the end of the gate. It was listed as a micro geocache and was it ever micro - it was magnetic and was about 1/2" x 1/4"! Even though we didn't find all four, we had a great time being outside together!
We went out to dinner last night with Niles. We wanted to try some Middle Eastern food which had been listed on our eating plan and so we headed off to a Lebanese restaurant close to where we are staying here. It turns out that we both really like Lebanese food - we had lamb and chicken shawarma (basically cooked and shaved meat in a sauce) served over rice, with tabouli (parsley, tomato, mint, bulgur and onion with an oil and lemon juice dressing), chicken and sausage shish kabobs, falafels (deep fried chick pea balls) and pitas. All of the food was so yummy and we will definitely be heading back there again next time we are in Melbourne.
