Monday July 13, 2009: Venture into Adelaide

Today was a nice day so I jumped on the train and headed into the city to just walk around and check it out a little bit. The city is pretty small and is flanked by four main streets on the outside, North, South, East and West Terrace. Outside of these streets is parklands. A whole green belt around the city. The main train terminal is on North Terrace so I got off and walked down Main Terrace a bit, then walked back through Rundle Mall, a bit shopping area. Did pop into one store and buy a new shirt. Wanted to get back on the train before 3 because it is cheaper, so didn’t walk around the whole city, I figured I’d do that another day. I have a couple weeks here, so I’ve got time. Tonight we headed to a free roll poker game that Mary frequents on Mondays. I did decent, went out in 5th place, got taken out by Dave, who eventually went on to win. I didn’t have much money though, so my blind ended up being all in and I got dealt pocket 8’s. But wouldn’t you know it, Dave flops trip Kings. Ahh well, still did half decent, 5th ain’t too bad.
