Very sad about Hunter S. Thompson. I wonder if he was sick. He doesn't seem the sort to go quietly, know what I mean?

For future visitors, I highly recommend the grape grazing festival, or even just a tour of the wineries if your not here in February. The Yarra Valley wineries we saw were lovely, and the people we went with were a very fun lot. And Sunday wasn't too painful considering we spent all day Saturday drinking. Best of all, we found three different people willing to dog-sit Laika in the future when we want to venture forth without her. Excellent.
