Jared Lee - Photo Album - Melbourne-110904

Since I was all done with my exams and the GRE, I was free to go into Melbourne to watch the Vikings-Colts MNF game, and then afterwards I took advantage of the beautiful day to stroll through the Alexandra Gardens, Kings Domain & Royal Botanic Gardens, before heading up to the Shrine of Rememberance
