My youngest sister & her family moved from the U.S. to Melbourne a few years back & love it there. I hope to eventually get a chance to visit again.

Thank you all very much for your comments and "the compliments" re my baby pic. From memory I think it was taken during a summer holiday at the Baltic Sea. <br /><br />Kittie - I know how your German friend feels. It took me quite a while to get the hang of the Aussie slang - my mouth open staring at the person opposite me was quite common during the first few months :-)<br /><br />Again - thanks everyone - and if you do happen to read my stories - ENJOY :-)Iris Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282988971025667976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-17920597644807592242012-04-11T13:46:15.818+10:002012-04-11T13:46:15.818+10:00That is one of the cutest beach pictures ever.

You'd be surprised how many have contacted me and added a little more, which I've loved. I for one would have liked to have learned something about Mainz!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing what you did.
