reports for Texas everyday and we can't believe how hot it is and that there is no rain in sight. It certainly
has been a long, hot summer....John and I have been quite busy the past couple of days...
Thursday, we had a Chevron/ABU gathering at the Perth Convention Center....it was attended by all
the families who are somehow involved in both the Gorgon and Wheatstone projects. We were introduced
to the Australian culture and aboriginal dancing, along with various foods from around the world, signifying
the diversity of both projects. Italian, Greek Japanese,Chinese and American foods were served. American
sliders seemed to be the biggest hit with all the kiddos.
On Friday, we went to see Wicked at the Burswood Complex. First of all, what a magnificant complex.
We can't wait to show it to our company. You can see if from our condo. Secondly, Wicked was FABULOUS! I can't John was as enthusiastic about it as I was, but, at least he went! On Saturday,
we had an Expat Mexican Fiesta. Fajitas and Margarita's were overflowing. What a blast! Needless to
say, it was a fabulous couple of days.
On Sunday, John and I went exploring the riverfront. We walked over 4 miles of the Swan River (lots more miles to walk) and took lots of pictures. I think my favorite pictures are of the Black Swans and their babies.
The babies are white when they are born and turn black as they grow! What beautiful, graceful birds they are. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
Have a wonderful week! Stay well, stay safe and stay cool!
