Australian Ball

Last night we attended the Australian Ball. We were invited on Friday by our Australian friends, who's colleague informed them of some extra tickets, and the ball was Saturday! Tom borrowed a tux from a friend of ours because it was black tie but no uniforms. The theme was the Great Barrier Reef. It was a lot of fun. The Aussies really know how to party. The band was fabulous. They started with jazz, went on to some standards, and then to rock and roll. We left before midnight but the party was far from over, they even had breakfast on the schedule. These pictures are of my girl friends from China, Australia, England and the US (from left to right), The Navy band, the sorbet course and the bread plate.
