There was an earthquake close to Christchurch a few days ago, I did not even feel it as I am on the north island. To the best of my knowledge it was a 7.4 and somehow there were no fatalities whatsoever! I will update again as any news arrives!

PS: The pictured of the car have been uploaded on the previous entry.

Yup,you are parked on the wrong side of the road!
How many times have you climbed in on the wrong side? Glad you didnt get rocked by the earthquake.Darren and Lisa are up for a few days from Colarado,they stopped by for the afternoon to visit with Gramma and Grampa.He may be sent down to New Zealand to do some work for his company in the near future.(Will pass on your info on contact number if he does.)The pictures of the plant your working in is very modern and large,it gives me a feel of just how large the kiwi industry is! I'm sure you'll get a lot more exploring done having wheels to get around in.(good chick magnet even if its 20 plus years young!) Give the guys on the right a lot more consideration before pulling out into the traffic and keep the days off extreme sports not to extreme. Enjoy your new found freedom. ( I'm building on the addition to our bathroom and missing your helpfull carpentry skills!) Safe travels. Stan
