Hello everybody,

Today we have been in NZ 3 weeks. Yesterday we made our way down the west

coast of the Coromandel Peninsula from the beach house in Matarangi to the Bedfords home in Tauranga. We will leave tomorrow for Gisbourn on the east

coast (Pacific) about 200 mi. The pictures you see is of a large gold mining

operation done in he early 1900's mining gold from quartz. been closed for many years. Horses pulled ore cars around those tracks.

GREEN!!
Wow, what a beautiful country!! I can't get enough of all the GREEN!!! I just love that LUSH GREEN!! Looks like you are having a great time. So happy for you. The mood here to all you talk to is sheer depression with the past election. But we have a mighty God and he has a plan in all of this. He will expose evil wherever it tries to hide. So no worries. SO enjoy all your pictures and antics!! Gives me a smile and even a chuckle each day. Thanks so much for sharing. Be safe and keep the good times rolling! :-)
