Saturday was a travel day to Perth. What a difference 4 hours makes. We went from 40's to 60's and gained another 2 hours in time.

Interesting fact: Perth is exactly 12 hours different from Philadelphia. Okay we are a day ahead but if it is 10am in Philadelphia it is 10 pm in Perth. We were hoping to Skype the kids but that doesn't look like that is going to happen.

Barry and I lucked out and got a homestay while in Perth. A lovely family who has done quite a bit of travel themselves worldwide. We hear the accommodations at the local hostel make the hostel in Melbourne look like a palace.

The boys are performing at the Music Educators conference this morning and then later in the day there is a joint concert with the AYC Perth group.

Perth is a modern city sitting on the Swan River. There are some high rise apartment buildings but mostly business is in the downtown area. We went for a walk this morning and found the Deloitte office. Amy works for them in Philly.

We ate dinner on the wharf in Fremantle last night with our host family. Fremantle is a large port city and is quite charming. We ate dinner at a local fish house on the wharf last night. fish and chips - yummy. We will be spending some time walking around the town tomorrow sightseeing.
