Obama Blend

A new coffee blend is now offered at a specialty shop in Brisbane called Campos, and I got to see a package when a colleague brought it into work today.
It is described as follows:
“Great depth of character, strong, and eloquent. This very appealing blend unites coffees from Africa and the Americas to produce a cup which has gotten us excited. Formidable middle palate flavours, syrupy with an uplifting finish. Excellent choice for going forward and ideal for those looking for a change.”

More Work

This is the Ellen Barron Family Center in Brisbane where I’ve spent some of my time during my elective here. It’s a facility where parents with young children can go to stay if they’re having difficulties with things like feeding, settling/sleeping, or discipline. It’s quite an impressive facility with such a unique spectrum of services that doesn’t really have an equivalent (that I’ve heard of) in the US.

Aussie Disc Golf!

This is the Strathpine disc golf course – the only 18-hole course we found, but the baskets were a little weird.  We played here many times during our stay.  We also found 3 other courses in the greater Brisbane area – but we never saw anyone else playing.
