Our Address

Andrew & Christy Sweany
3/14 Park St.
South Yarra- Victoria 3141
Australia

In case you need reminders of how to get ahold of us via our mobiles:
Andy's number is 043 051 0801
Christy's number is 043 051 0802

We've both upgraded our phones to include additional international minutes with the US. We're hoping to have our home internet set-up shortly after we move this Friday, so then we can begin using Skype.

We had a pleasant weekend- spent a bit of time on Friday walking around the area of our new apartment. Stopped for a celebratory Stella and snack. Visited an Irish Pub and felt more at home than we have since leaving Portland. Hhmmm...wonder why? :)
Saturday we trekked to a new part of the city and purchased Andy's bike, which we have already nicknamed 'Rusty.' Visited the local home improvement store to have additional sets of apartment keys made. Our for pizza and rented our first movie, which we watched on our computer. Sunday we biked and took the train downtown to Federation Square- met up with one of Andy's co-workers and a friend of his- saw a movie at the Australian Center for the Moving Image, followed by a couple of beers and snacks at a riverside bar and restaurant. I was really feeling like home then, because it was rather nasty weather and rainy, and still we kept sitting outside enjoying good beer, conversation, and views of the river.

Hope all is well. xoxoxo

Hey you guys,
Your new aprartment looks pretty sweet, unique cooking devices. The weather is surely getting cooler here. Fall here. I'm going to N. Minn. this weekend for Lyn's wedding, I can't wait haven't been there for 10 years. It will be overlooking lake Superior on a Mt. at Lutsen Ski Resort. Very exciting. Christy I'll fill you in on traditions later(regarding what you wrote in my letter):0 Don't want everyone to know:) Hope things get more comfortable for you guys, if you want me to ship over your painting I will, thank you for the purchase. It might be nice to have while you're so far from "home". Talk to you later,
Annie
