Today we planned a quick hike up mount Coottha, followed by a walk through the botanical gardens, followed by church in the evening. Mount Coottha proved to be a bit taller than expected, especially when we got a little bit lost. Fortunately our lostness was entirely made up for by the fact that we stubbled upon a lovely picnic area where seven sneaky kookaburras sat on a branch in an old gum tree and one stole a sausage from local picnickers. It was sad for the hungry picnickers, but pretty cute too watch the kookaburras. When we realized the time, however, we had to run down the mountain in order to make it to church on time, and skipped the botanical gardens.
Church today was at Hillsong in the valley of Brisbane. It was a smaller Hillsong campus, which we discovered is actually located in a night club (the person doing the announcements humorously commented that pamphlets with information on their small groups was "on tap"). It was a very welcoming bunch, a great pastor, and of course beautiful worship music.
After church, we ate all the food in Brisbane (we had missed lunch since our hike ran late). First to a Turkish pizza place which was quite tasty. Then to Macca's (the Australian version of McDonald's) for Jeremy's second dinner. And lastly to The Three Monkey's for delicious mango cheesecake that Akello and I shared and cookies & cream cheesecake for Jeremy (and for me to sneakily steal). So much deliciousness!
