Kia Ora from New Zealand



This is a long-overdue posting that will be brief as there's too much to catch up on. I'm on a two-month visit to New Zealand to spend Christmas with Kate and Sean who moved here in August of this year. Quite predictably, I'm loving New Zealand. It's spectacular!
Here are a couple of photos to tantalize you.

The first picture is of the view from the mountainside near Company Bay, where Kate and Sean live for the moment. The second picture is of their temporary quarters. The window you see is their living-room window and it overlooks the inlet and hills across the way ... scenery that you want to freeze and carry around. It's truly beautiful.
It's spring here ... lucky me. Nightfall is at around 10 p.m. and the days are getting warmer and warmer. I think I'm lucky to be here at this time of year. However, my friends Sandra and Rodney said that they were in Dunedin (where Kate and Sean live) in January a few years ago. It should have been hot but instead they had hail of a size they had never before experienced. So, we'll see ....
