Temporarily Settled In Taranaki : Photos 21 to 30

I know its been a while since my last entry but I haven't had any good adventures lately.

Billy, YOU look SO happy in these pics which makes me SO happy!!!! Keep up the good work and enjoy wellington...I LOVE that city!!! cheers for now! D.

This dude at my work just moved here from New Zealand pretty random.

Yo Dude, Good to see your having fun times down in Kiwi land. Anyway to get some more surf snaps up? We've had a few fun South's come through over the last few weeks. This morning finally felt like the first real September session - Keep posting!

what's up Billy the Kid? Seems like you're having a good time, I'm jealous of you ya' prick. We're starting to get some good hurricane swells on the east coast, not like it compares to NZ. take care, Ed
