We had half of a free day in Canberra the day after our presentation, and we decided to go see the capitol part of Canberra. We took the bus, but got off too early. So we had a 20 minute walk, then, to the "official" area. At this point, we were running out of time, so we only had about 20 minutes to walk around, which wasn't even near enough. But we saw the beautiful national library, and Parliament in the distance. Ah, well.
On the bus, we met the nicest lady named June. She is 81 years old, and told us stories of her life as we rode along. She's quite amazing. At age 20 in 1950, she decided to go to England, and took a 6-week trip on a ship to get there. After working there a couple of years, she took a ship to Canada, and worked in Toronto and Vancouver for a number of years. She's traveled the world and had a wonderful time, and I just thought she was fantastic.
