more of New Zealand

---

I'm gutted I left a lot of my photos at home that I took while I was there but here are a few that I do have. I only had a couple of weeks, and it went really fast but man it was so good to be home. my Family keeps getting bigger and better, and my friends are as cool as ever. also got to hang out with Steph a bit which was great, met her briefly in London last year and we kept in contact through internet over the last 6months so was cool to finally get to know her a bit more in person. keeper, much?! 😊 a flying visit and now I'm putting in a last effort before I get home for Christmas, with a quick round the world trip starting off in the promised land - Argentina!! it was my first stop last time I left home and is still my favorite place in the world(after New Zealand that is, obviously). so good to be back here and hanging out with old mates but I'll tell you all about that in the next blog. for the moment I'll just be concerntrating on recovering the spanish I had, and trying to pick up some more with the help of my buddies here in Córdoba. take it easy all - russ

HI Russ Soooo good to see more pics. Your girlfriend is very pretty - how can you leave her for so long? Hilarious pic of Sean pulling that LONG face, and your comment about the Prime Minister was a crack up. Enjoy every minute! Lotsalove Francie
