Most people always have shown an interest in Oz especially when they heard the accent. Usually there are a gamete of questions like "Why Baton rouge? Why America ? Your country is beautiful. Why would you ever want to come here?? Etcetcetc.
In truth this has been for the most part a great experience. I have truly enjoyed my time here. The south has a charm to it that I can't quite explain or for that matter put my finger on. Something about old school manners and the ma'am and sir when addressing you elders that just appeals.
I have essentially missed home. I'm looking forward to catching up with friends especially when I get back.....Of course when catching up with people it has to be accompanied with good wine, beer, food and coffee. Okay, so I'm not much on coffee alot of the time........That and the thoughts of seeing the familiar surroundings of home are making me smile a little.....

"Home wasn't a set house, or a single town on a map. It was wherever the people who you loved were, whenever you were together. Not a place, but a moment, and then another, building on each other like bricks to create a solid shelter that you take with you for your entire life, wherever you may go."
