December 2010 - A week at Sandy Point

katherine and i rented a house in a small coastal town here in victoria near a dramatic park called Wilson's Promontory.

we had a great time walking the beaches, hiking up Mt. Oberon, eating fish and chips and playing a few games of scrabble. although the weather had been cool and cloudy up to that point, we had beautiful days for the most part!

here are a few pix of the trip.

Australian Open

Oz Open pix - first Friday:

kath and i had a great time at tennis yesterday -- we went to the Margaret Court Arena and planted ourselves in good seats and stayed all day --- we saw men's doubles, woman's singles match (with another belgian - yanina wickmayer - another baseline banger a la clijsters), and the monfils - Isner match. Isner took that match with his massive serves and big forehand --- monfils still could have taken that match as he had a break in the 3rd set but gave it back with a lazy game and lost the set in a tie-breaker. after that he moped around and Isner kept his nerve won it in the 4th set tiebreaker.
