Wheels!

After talking about doing it for a few weeks, we finally went out and got ourselves a car. We picked up a gem with 1996 Holden Commodore. Here's a visual of her:

Boss life.

She's got a little over 300,000 km on her, but she's got a lot of character and I think she's going to take good care of us during this vintage. It's nice having some freedom and being able to do some exploring outside our town now. 

In between going to the beach and spending time at the pub this weekend, I found my favorite winery I've been to yet on this trip. Ben and I went to Samuel's Gorge and had the best wines I've had so far in Australia (other than Mollydooker's of course). Their Shiraz was awesome but their Grenache was the star. If you ever see their wine in the states, pick it up. The winemaker, Justin, was a really interesting guy and their labels are great too. Here's their website: http://www.gorge.com.au/index.html

A couple people have been commenting on my facial hair, asking if I was growing a moustache. The answer is no, not yet. Right now I'm doing the full beard, but we'll see what happens. Here's what it looks like:

The grapes are still a ways away, so I'll have to stick to beaches and wine tasting for now. Wish me luck.
