Sunday Ride 2 -- part 1

RANDOM VEGETARIAN


Daniel with the Lentil as Anything food, Westgate Park, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Yesterday, in the course of a lengthy Sunday ride, my friend Daniel and I stumbled on an anti-dredging protest on the odiferous banks of the Yarra River, under the Westgate Bridge, complete with the mouth-watering surprise of a Lentil as Anything shack in full swing.

In the above image you can see a shocked (and soon to be stuffed) Daniel holding a plate of steaming Japanese omelette in his right hand, injera wrapped around red-lentil paste and a ricotta and cheese pastry in his left.

If you look to his left you can see some distant, colourful nutbags dressed up as mutated sea creatures, who later did a painfully slow, psychadelic pantomine of what might befall us if the river and bay are dredged to allow larger ships to pass through. If it weren't for the excellent Lentil fare, and the confused array of other random protests I would have been concerned. Somehow I wasn't convinced this was a serious-enough issue. It could also have been the presence of toilets that dropped into exposed big red wheelie bins that put me off.

Post-Lentil, we caught the three-dollar Punt across the river to Williamstown, where at the base of rather odd Ball Tower, we met an Israeli professor of traffic engineering about to take up a two-year chair in Auckland. That Daniel speaks fluent Hebrew and comes from New Zealand and studied engineering, both at the university at which the professor was going and at the one in Israel from which he came, was a sunny coincidence.

It's a small, small world, filled with mutated sea creatures and random vegetarian delights.
