I loved your pictures, Zara, and even more than that I loved seeing things through the eyes of a foreigner. I really had to chuckle at the comment you posted above. A girl from another forum I belong to visited New York (she is from Hertsford?) and she said almost exactly the same thing. I think it is partially your charming English accents that bring out the best in Americans (and the fact that you are both young and attractive).Everyone is so friendly over there. Anyone and everyone will speak to you and service in restaurants and public places was almost always with a smile. It makes us Brits seem positively miserable!

It warms my heart to hear how successful your vacation was.

My parents; perhaps; because they are both from more southern regions of England where speech is a bit gentler and more refined, but my brother and I had to often repeat ourselves when talking to some locals because they found it difficult to make out words in our slightly harsh accents. One clued-up Floridian however did say, "You're from the north of England, aren't you?" when I said, "Look at them luvly 'ouses over thur" whilst looking out a restaurant window at houses overlooking the sea. 
Still, I suppose it's all a matter of perspective. That reminds me that maybe we need a 'Let's hear you' thread sometime soon.
