New Zealand March 6-21, 2006

They say that this land is God's country...it's not hard to understand why with it's rolling hills, valleys, tall pines, crystal lakes, beautiful oceans.

It's a mesmerizing place filled with the freshest oxygen I've encountered...the greenest forests I've seen, the bluest skies and oceans imaginable.

The feeling is stillness here for the snow capped mountains show themselves for miles, the grapes grow hidden under a net of white, the people greet you with a kind smile and a quircky accent, you can drive for miles and not see anyone, pass a town in a blink of an eye and be confronted with another natural wonder.

It's not hard to imagine why God chose this place...for amist it's cold weather, there is a blanket of warmth.
