After two weeks in Oz, I am settling into work, my body clock is slowly adjusting and I am having a lot of fun! On Saturday, I met up with Brenda, who moved to Perth from Florida 3 years ago after Challenge stole her husband away from his job at Sea Ray. Brenda suggested that we head down to Freemantle, a port town about 22km south of Perth. We went to the Freo markets, walked around town and even stopped at a lovely brewery on the water called Little Creatures! Afterward, we headed back to her house for some snaggers (sausages) and wings on the barbie. They are wonderful people and, even after only two weeks, it's nice to be able to start sentences without the phrase "Back in The States...."
Here are a few photos of Freemantle:

On Sunday afternoon, I went with Aileen, Taryn and Shannon to the Galleria for some light shoe shopping and general browsing. When walking past a book store, I spotted the dolls in the photo below. While I do not endorse their sale, I was SO amazed that they were actually on sale that I took a photo of Shannon with them. Apparently, they are called Golliwogs.
