Okay so I realize I'm a few days late but I've been away from my computer. Anyway minor updates are that I've been back living in the apartment in Perth CBD while the boat has been in the shed having its hull repainted. What was supposed to be a week in the apartment has now turned into over a month so if you've seen pictures of me recently, yes I am wearing the same thing over and over again. What are ya gonna do? For the past few weeks I've been told that we would be back on the boat "tomorrow morning", "in two days", "by the end of the week", etc. so for those who are curious, no- I have no idea how much longer I have to wear these clothes. I'm just along for the ride.
Anyway, i spent Easter at the Fremantle markets which I have been trying to go to for months. It was a really great day wandering around on my own looking at all the local produce and wares. I also had one of the best meals I think I've ever tasted. Bought some fresh cut mango from one of the farmer's stands and then grabbed a slice of "raw" pizza from "The Raw Kitchen" stand. The pizza was gluten free, dairy free, vegan, organic, and a few other things "free" but it was incredible. The crust was made of dehydrated buckwheat with a tomato, pepper, and basil sauce, topped off with fresh tomatoes, basil, sundried tomatoes, and olives. There was even a "cheese" made from pureed nuts, garlic, and lemon. Sounds sketchy but I promise it was a great substitute (and this is coming from an absolute cheese fiend).
There was also an arts festival of sorts taking place so there were various acts in the streets including an adult dressed and running around on all fours in a dog costume being chased by a scottish man on stilts, an italian peddler act, and a mime. There was some music going on in a few different areas too but I didn't really pay attention to everything (big shocker there).
Alright, here are some pics.
