October 14, 2002 Adelaide, Australia
I was supposed to meet Lisa to tour the chocolate factory, but due to the slow tram and walking in the oposite direction, I arrived just as the tour was ending. Sounds like I didn't miss much, though. We figured we would spend the rest of the afternoon sightseeing, but there aren't that many sights to see in Adelaide. I suggested the Aboriginal Culture Center, so we started the long walk back into town. When we got to the city center, there were police cars and ambulances everywhere, and the whole area was blocked off. Aparently a guy shot two people outside of the government building. First the news about the bombing in Bali, the Maryland sniper, and now this. It looks like nowhere is safe.
So the immediate problem was trying to get around town when half of it was blocked off. It took us about two hours to figure out how to get to that place, and upon arrival they informed us there were no exhibits, since they were changing them. After that fiasco we rode the free city loop bus, then trammed back to Glenelg for dinner, overcooked ihyros, or gyros, as I am used to seeing them spelled. Then we went to see the Bourne Identity, which we both enjoyed very much.
