Daisy in Alsace

Since last week, Daisy is in Alsace, this region is in the east of France,
near Germany and Switzerland. Sunday the 8th march,

the international day of the woman, she visited Mulhouse,

an industrial city in the south of Alsace.

First, Daisy was very interested by a trompe-l'oeil painting

on a house, it was made by handicaped persons.

After that, we went to the Reunion place. This place is called Reunion because of the reunion of Mulhouse to France during the French Revolution of 1989.There is a beautiful town hall built in the 16th century, the walls are painted.

The front of the town hall is also very beautiful with big double stairs.

In the first floor there is a room for the town council.

Upstairs there is the Historic Museum.

Many things about the life in Alsace formerly. It's very interesting.

Hi everyone!

Daisy wanted me to post and tell you all that she arrived lately and we have been having a good time! I promise to make a complete "life in Alabama" update at some point this week. Between family emergencies and wedding planning Daisy & I have been swamped! :)

Daisy farewells Australia

Daisy sits in front of Vicki's shop in Goolwa, South Australia as she gets ready to depart Australia on the next leg of her world-wide journey.



On the counter in Vicki's shop Daisy waves goodbye as she heads off to the USA.

Goodbye Daisy it has been a pleasure having you visit.

The Coorong and Geocaching

Vicki lives on Hindmarsh Island in the state of South Australia and lives in an area called the Coorong National Park. At the end of Vicki's road there is a reserve and it overlooks the Coorong, Mundoo Channel, Mundoo barrage and the Murray river mouth. The Coorong is a RAMSAR world-wide site of special importance.

While Vicki and Daisy were in the reserve Vicki placed a Geocache for other geocachers to find with their GPS. Geocaching is a worldwide game.

Daisy just loved where Vicki lived. Vicki and David live on the waterfront on Mundoo channel and there are many birds who frequent the waterways.

Daisy was very lucky to be able to go to Samara's 10th Birthday party. Samara is Vicki's youngest grand-daughter and there was a party held for the family to help Samara celebrate her birthday. Samara got a lot of presents and one was a giant freckle chocolate. Daisy was very pleased she was Samara's friend.
