A belated Happy Easter to everyone. Easter here in Australia was incredibly nice. It was a day spent with friends outside enjoying the amazing weather. If you wonder why I keep talking about the weather it is because the weather is truly stunning. Take one of those gorgeous late August / early September Maine days and repeat for about two months.
We have had a few experiences over the last few weeks that have reminded us of our home in Maine.
First, we had visitors! The first since we arrived in Australia. Margaret's Mother's cousin, Martha, came to visit. She lives in Maine and New Zealand and came to visit Yarra Junction along with her friend Donna. It was great to see them both and have them experience a bit of "the bush." Martha even brought some Starbucks coffee to make us really feel back in the States.
Then on Easter Sunday we had a baseball game with a very sporting Australian family. It was great fun. We fortunately brought our uniforms from the States. Lincoln would like to tell everyone that we won 14 to 6.
We also spent a few days this past week at Philip Island. It is an island just outside of Melbourne. It is famous for its Grand Prix races and for its penguins. It was quite a treat to see penguins in the wild. The coastline looked surprisingly like Maine and even had the cold water to go along with it.
Be well,
Nord

Dear Samuelson Family,
We just checked your blog for the first time and it was such a treat to get a window into your new life. Just as fall is ending for you, spring is beginning for us. Sophie and I are in Maine visiting our friend Iris and thought of you all as we drove through Freeport.
We all send our love,
The Heyerdahls
