Hi from sunny and HOT South Fork. Where's the snow?? We're enjoying your blog. I think you'll like the South Island - as you say, it's a lot more rugged and (to us) more interesting than the north. We lost each other for three days in Abel Tasman - we'll have to tell you the story sometime! Eve

Hello!
Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. Just got back myself from a trip to Columbia, MO visiting a friend who just adopted a child from China. The little girl is just adorable (2 years old). Can't wait to hear more from you. We sure do miss you. Take care.

Glad to hear you found your old friend. I still remember when she and a friend showed up in Jackson at the Salvation Army or bus station? to see the "Old South." Napier does look beautiful. I have read about this town in a travel magazine. Hurricane Ida totally missed us. Not even any rain.

Lost in Abel Tasman?
So Eve - you'll have to tell us how you and Ozzie got lost? Perhaps we can come skiing at Wolf Mountain at Pagosa Springs after we return and hear the story first hand. Larry
