My cousin Geoff laughs at many American phrases. He seems to think, "I guess" is especially humorous, or maybe it's the way we say it that he finds funny. Anyway the above picture is a typical deli with different types of meat pies. "Dogs eye" is another way of saying meat pie. It is one of many rhyming slang phrases used by Aussies. They really have fun and play with language. For example "Capt Cook" means "take a look" and "china plate" means "good mate".

Bailey from our balcony in Sydney. "Good on ya" Jacki for finding us this apartment. We found when planning our trip that it was cheaper to stay in apartments since there were so many of us. Even when there were just Mum, Jacki and I apartments or small cottages were definately the way to go.
