Australia 2016 - Downtown Perth, Food Trucks, and Heat

On Monday the 13th, Eileen’s sister Jean (who came to the Villa in Vassenello, Italy with us in 2011) took us into downtown Perth. We went to the Art Gallery, which is small but has a very interesting collection. I was particularly drawn to the work of English painter Stanley Spencer, and will enjoy learning more about his work.

We tried to go the historical museum, but it’s closed for renovation. We did, however, have a lovely lunch in the shaded garden of the museum - an opportunity for a good visit with Jean. The shade part is of particular importance on this day. In our measures it 104º - REALLY HOT! It was like the hottest March day on record for the last six years. Ugh.

In the evening, Jean and Eileen and Wally came over to our flat and we walked down to the Swan River just below where we are and got dinner from three food trucks that show up only on Monday evenings. It was still rather hot, but the walk was nice. We did, however, bring our food back up to the air conditioned flat! We had Middle Easter, Brazilian, and Mexican food with a Korean twist!
