About Australian Open - Part 2

I was going to write more about the A.O. today, but am too tired to write. So this is my entry for the day. Come back later and I'l edit this one to add more. G'nite.

UPDATE:

Attending the AO was a fun event. Our time in Melbourne was pretty much spent at the Tennis Center and not much else. My memory is fuzzy, but I think we ordered the tickets to the tennis center online, before we left the US. As in the US OPEN (USO), tennis matches don't start till 11AM, and so we usually have a leisurely time for breakfast and then spent most of the daylight hours at the tennis center. Like in the USO, the ticket we held allows us to go into the tennis facility, any other tennis courts and matches, as well as an assigned seatings at the main stadium, Rod Laver Arena. (On the other hand, if you've ever been or plan to go to the French Open, you'll need THREE tickets every day to see any possible match scheduled for that day, one for Chatrier, one for Lenglen, and one for Court One).

The atmosphere is great, many people around dressed casually and in shorts, and lots of people with face painting, clowns on stilts, and lots of beer.

I am looking forward to scheduling another trip there, the Lord willing, and see much more of the beautiful (so I heard) Melbourne and the beaches.
