This is email I received from a woman in Germany concerning a URL to my vacation trip photos that I left in the Guestbook for the "Malibu Times". It was very nice of her to send me this nice reply. I took out her name and her son's name to protect her identity.

Hi, 
my name is ___ and I am from Germany. 
When reading the guestbook of Malibu Times I followed your link to see those 
wonderful pictures of your trip to CA in January this year. Thank you so much 
for sharing them with us. My son and I have been in LA last October for the 
first time in our life (and certainly the last time, because it is quite 
expensive). I love the US and the people and the american way of life. I made 
only good experiances. Lots of your pictures remembered me of my own trip. 
I will go on reading your homepage. Your are very busy so I need some time to 
read all. 
All my best wishes for you. 
Bye, 
___ ________, Germany 
Mother of 6 year old son _______ who loves the US and didn't want to leave 
that wonderful country.
