Mum's 60th Birthday

I'm writing this from Melbourne where I came down to surprise Mum for her birthday. Mum went down to Melbourne to visit Laura and to help her get some of her wedding preparations done. I flew down the day before her birthday and surprised her. We took Mum to the Melbourne Aquarium. The aquarium itself is not that big but pretty interesting. There is a shark viewing area where you look at them swim around in a big tank that surounds you. It is quite breath taking to sit there and watch them. We also watched them get fed which was interesting and looked quite unsafe. Not that the sharks would intentionally bite them. Just that they would put the food right up against their mouth then pull it away as they tried to bite it. Then they would throw it towards their open mouth pulling their fingers away at the last minute. I'm guessing with they probably have quite a few work place accidents. That night we went out to an Italian restuarant off Lygon Street called Michelino's. I had a pizza which was very nice.
