Here’s another oldie for Throwback Thursday.

I’m pretty sure that this was taken during our first trip to Melbourne, Australia, a city which we’ve visited several times and enjoy very much.

Meda was collaborating with a friend, also a criminologist, who was teaching at the University of Melbourne, which led to our trip.

My best guess on the date is about 1993, give or take a couple of years.

It was late spring or early summer in Hawaii, which meant that it was winter, or getting to be winter, in Melbourne, offering a chance for us to visit some cool weather.

And we were surprised to find signs of Hawaii tourism on the streets of Melbourne.

I’m sure it was the somewhat puffy down jacket that gave the false appearance that I carried few extra ounces during that period.
