I live in the Midwest Marge, and I was very surprised too. :)

I was born and raised on the shores of Narrabeen Lake, which is a picturesque seaside suburb of Sydney, in Australia. That's the Pacific Ocean you can see to the right (scroll over), in this picture:
Narrabeen is an approximately 40 minute drive along the coast, north of Sydney, Australia's biggest city.
I now live closer to the city centre, within the gay ghetto with all its cafes, clubs and shopping, and close to Little Italy. Sydney Harbour is only a short walk away, at the end of my street.

Oh My God Kerry, what a beautiful place to grow up, you're so lucky....
I had to do with the not so terribly exciting cheese town Alkmaar in North-Holland... :(

Narrabeen is a very pretty place, Melissa, and Sydney is a beautiful city. But so too is Alkmaar, from what I can see of the pics your posted. It looks absolutely gorgeous. Like something out of a fairy tale! And Alkmaar has something very precious that Sydney is sadly lacking - a long history. Sydney's only been in existence for just over 200 years. Bet Alkmaar's been there for longer than that! :D
You might be interested to know, Melissa, that a lot of Dutch people live in and around the Narrabeen area. I went to school with some Dutch boys who lived near me by name of Van Laar, Van Royen, Tryness and Vermin. Their families had lived in the Dutch East Indies and came to live in Australia, when that country gained its independence.

I'm in Sunny Southern California, folks.
I'm the only Brokie I know out here. Everyone else is in the closet!
