It has been raining pretty heavily on and off since I got here, with little windows of teasing sunshine in between. I am hoping that things will clear up for the weekend at least. The locals claim that this is the last hurrah of spring and I will be praying for rain when the temperature hits 40 degrees. Somehow, I doubt that.
Unaware of the impeding rain, I went downtown yesterday for some breakfast and internet. I found this cute little cafe called Tiger Tiger down a side street that had an outdoor patio with this huge gumtree growing in the center. I honestly had no idea what I was going to do that day and on a whim, I walked into a hair salon and got a shampoo and a cut. I think my main motivation was the shampoo as there was no hot water in the hostel for my shower the night before and my wash job was a bit rushed; the head massage was a nice touch too. The rest of the morning and the afternoon was spent at a pub since it was raining too hard to venture back to the hostel. Beer before noon is an wonderfully accepted practice around here, though I have to go back and try the emu- I have been told it tastes like duck.
My lovely friend Alyce picked me up for supper and we had pizza and a few beers at the Moon (bar or cafe, I am not sure) and ogled the South American singer as he played guitar and ukulele. His accent was wonderful.
I am currently trying to find a place to sleep tonight because I did not have the forethought to book ahead, so wish me luck!
