Wow - this visit down under is going by fast! We are so busy everyday that I haven't had a chance to write at all. I'll give a re-cap of the last few days in a future blog. In Wellington, NZ, now.... very pretty.... fun place... We were here last night and will stay one more night before moving on to Christchurch. Spent Sunday and Monday in Auckland -- loved it -- will post pictures when I have a chance. Tuesday (I think) was in Palmerston North (a very small city, reminded me of where I grew up, very country, very small, nice people, lots of agriculture). We saw lambs out in the pastures on the bus from Palmy to Wellington.... brought back a lot of memories from my childhood when I was in 4-H. I haven't and will NOT be able to eat lamb. Just can't do it. Those cute little wooly guys are just too cute. And besides I feel so guilty from those years in 4-H. I did eat some pork today though. Didn't get as attached to my little piggies back in the 4-H days, and I am half-Spanish afterall, so pork kinda comes with the territory. We have been feasting mostly on Asian food. Laotian in Sydney, Thai in Auckland, and Cambodian last night in Wellington, plus some other Asian fusion today in Wellington, where I finally broke from my veggies/chicken/fish typical fare and had a pork dumpling. It was delicious.... more on food later, as food can definitely take up an entire blog. I'm afraid I have to run now as we have really no time for such things as checking e-mails or writing blogs. :)
TTFN...
