Faces of Adelaide

Here are some of the good people of Adelaide whom we will miss. Most of them we met through church, others through schools. Of all the things we'll miss about Australia, I think these new friends rank right on top. To generalize, we found Australians easy going, friendly, down-to-earth, nonpretentious, and possessing great senses of humor. Their ability to laugh at themselves and their relative (to some bits of Ann Arbor culture, that is) noncompetitive natures were truly refreshing traits!

We hosted a BBQ Sunday, May 4 to say good bye to our new Aussie friends. Yes, this get-together was just 48 hours before the shipping co. showed up on our doorstep ready to pick up our boxed belongings, but what can we say other than we're going native. No worries, mate. We did get everything done, though it was a very busy few days.
