Yesterday my friend Bahar and I (she's originally from Iran, but has been living in Canada for the last nine years) decided to enjoy the nice autumn day and get outside. We hopped on the free tourist bus and rode into parts of town that we hadn't seen before. It's really a cool system...there is a tape that runs, telling you about stuff you are looking at ("and on your right you will see...") and the driver fills in with little bits of trivia. When we got to the Royal Botanical Gardens we decided to hop off and take a look around. I'd run the track around the gardens before, but hadn't actually gone inside. We were pleasantly surprised by the colors of the trees and the leaves on the ground.
We ended up missing the bus on the way home, but the weather was really nice so we didn't mind walking back. We enjoyed a nice sunset over the city and the Yarra River, stopped at a coffee shop, and just watched all the people streaming by.
We eventually made it back, refreshed and ready to take on the weekend. We are in three out of four classes together and we both have lots of work to do in this last week before finals. I am in-between assignments right now, so I should probably get back to work. Hopefully I'll get enough done to feel okay about taking the day off tomorrow. We'll see :)
