| Left: Melbourne Cup Day in Australia is the day the country "shuts
down" for a horse race. For our American friends, the equivalent
to "the Cup" is the Super Bowl. We were told that folks
"dress up", so Kathy and I played the part. Right: Our friends
(and landlords) Bill and Alice hosted the party. They have a beautiful
new home in Cordeaux Heights. Bill's game room features a nine-foot
slate pool table which brought back memories of my childhood days
on my Dad's nine-foot slate. |
| Left: Our neighbors and new friends Peg and Dr. Frank watch the
race. (Notice that only the "yank" takes his eyes off the
screen for a picture). Right: Alice and friends urge on their favorite
horse. |
| We've met so many beautiful people here but here is one of the nicest,
our next door neighbor and friend Judy. |
| Left: Lexie and friend take in the race. Don't mess with Lexie ...
she knows her horses! Right: Eric gives us his best pensive look. |
