A Real Australian Tea

The Geography Department at the university invited our family over for “tea”.  We (me and the kids) had never been to a tea so we weren’t sure what to expect.  Matt said not to stress it would be very casual.  It turned out to be just that.  It was quite delightful actually.  I had met Sonya, from the department but no one else.  The entire department turned out, all were very kind and I could see why Matt had had a wonderful experience here. 

The refreshments were wonderful as well, almost too pretty to eat (almost!)Tea Cupcakes

We didn’t hold back though, I had to hurry and snatch these photos before it was all devoured. 

Matt's Office

We also got to see Matt’s office – I have to say it looks kind of drab but he pointed out that he hadn’t been here that long and didn’t bring any type of decorations with him.  That’s true.  I do like the color of his chairs.  Tony and Sonya

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the tea we thought we’d go over to the bookstore and buy a t-shirt or something since we’d be leaving on Monday.  When we got there we didn’t actually see t-shirts but the pullover hoodies were $72.  Really??  Needless to say, we didn’t pick any up.  We really miss the prices we find in the States.   We love this country, hate the cost of everything!
