May 24th : The Start of the Week

Dr. Tony Bennett talking about identification tags
Today started the day of more touring. We walked a few kilometers ,don't ask me how many because well I just know we walked for a long time. We were headed to our first destination which was huge business building. There we met with Dr. Tony Bennett where he talked to us about various points in their animal industry here in Victoria. Here they are big EID tags which we use some in America. Victoria is a major place where they were one of the first to start this system. They fed us lunch and well.. It was interesting. The sandwich we had was different. It tasted like turkey but not ? Heck I don't know. Anyways it had this berry sauce on it and was not so good either. Maybe I am not just used to this kind of bland food over here. Tonight I was hoping to have a better meal because it was a buffet and well it was a step up from lunch, that is all I will say. Soon after our session in the morning with Dr. Bennett we went and saw the sites of Melbourne and they were absolutely beautiful ! When we looked at the monuments, it reminded me of our Washington D.C. After touring the sites we visited Clarton Brewery and learned how they manufacture their beer, it was very similar to ours in the United States. Today was a very educational day and can't wait to to some more touring tomorrow!
