downtown/beach

Today, while Maddie was working, we went through downtown Adelaide and into a beach town called Gleneg. Adelaide is known for all of its churches. We went down North Terrace, which is where the Parliament building and governor's house is. There was also this massive outdoor mall. It reminded me of Disney world with all of the different shops and walkways. Everywhere you turned there was a little outlet store or a little restaurant. There's even several golden pig statues! It's crazy. At a park down by the river, some man was playing the bagpipes. I thought it was just a Scottish thing but apparently not. Now Gleneg is a different city. It's located right on the beach and there's even a pier (or a jetty in Aussie language). The water is a clear turquoise color that we never see. The only city I can compare it to would be Huntington Beach, California. Parks everywhere, walkways with little surf shops, people running and biking everywhere; it's my idea of paradise.
