Light blogging ahead

See that picture at the top? It's a photograph of my parents, my brother, me and my cousin Karina.

It was taken at my brother's fifth birthday in 1965 in Banes, the town where I was born. A lifetime ago, it seems.

Well, my cousin and her entire family arrived in Sydney early this morning from Miami on their first visit to Australia.

It's been nearly a decade since I saw them last - during a visit to the US - and although we keep in touch online and on the phone, we have a lot of catching up to do. And they want to see kangaroos. And koalas. And the Opera House.

And of course, I want to show off my home, Sydney, so ... light blogging ahead.
