Tropfest

Yesterday we didn't have many plans. Mostly we were still recovering from a little too much sun at Grange beach, so many of the plans that we had (involving being out in the sun) had been cancelled. 


Most of what goes on in Adelaide is pretty underground. It seems like there's lots to do, but you just don't know about it. This is where having a few friends is really helpful. Justin informed us of Tropfest (conveniently happening just as the sun was going down, perfect) down at the Glenelg foreshore. 

This is where the tram lets you off. 30 seconds further and you'd be in the ocean.

Surrounded by shops and restaurants, Glenelg is definitely a tourist beach.

I had never heard of Tropfest, but apparently it's this really big independent short film festival. It gets screened live in Sydney to a huge crowd of people with hosts and celebrity guests and all that jazz, and the footage is broadcast live to parks and the like in different cities around Australia. 

We weren't really sure what to expect, but luckily the guys brought some blankets for us all to lounge on. The quality of the films was definitely way better than I had expected and it was a nice warm night, perfect for sitting by the shore. We even had an amazing sunset to start off the night.

Ali and I had a lot of fun and I'm really thankful to these guys for adopting us into their little group and showing us the ropes.


P.S. I'm super stoked for our overnight canoe trip on the Coorong!
