We spent last weekend in Canberra, the capital city of Australia. Canberra is a unique city in Australia because it is an entirely planned city which means that a long time ago when Australians were deciding what city would be their capital they couldn't agree on Sydney or Melbourne so they built an entire new city in the middle of Sydney and Melbourne--Canberra.
We went to Canberra with our friends Mark and Claire. They were headed there to celebrate the 21st birthday of Lydia, Claire's sister. Lydia was devastated when Damon told her Canberra was designed by an American architect. Don't worry Lydia, I am sure he was really an Aussie at heart! We enjoyed spending time with Claire's family, worshipping with the church there and seeing the sights of this nation's capital. Here are a few highlights from our trip.

VERY large sheep on the side of the road--I don't know why.

You see a sheep THAT big on the side of the road, you just thank your lucky stars and take a picture. "Why" is besides the point. :-)
Wow. That sheep is super cool. I'm awed into silence.
That is no sheep! It is a pyschohosebeast from hell!!
