Hi B!

As promised here is your postcard from Down Under.  Australia is great --the people are really friendly and much more laid back than we are.  I think Americans should adopt the Aussie mentality--instead of "you're welcome" they say "no worries!"  With a motto like that, everyone would be less stressed.  So far, though, the highlight of my trip was getting to hold a koala.  They are too cute.
