Near the Shire

Flew into Christchurch today. The view was amazing, the flight was so-so, and the weather has been terrific. Still, not a lot of time to play here and I leave again in 24 hours. Seems like a waste to be here and not see some hobbits. I will try and squeeze in a few photos while I am here. (view map)
I don't think my room phone works and my cell phone gets no love from the local service. hmn.
beware of false prophets.
I think it's funny that a lot of people were stoked by where the Matrix was taking them before it left them hanging on to a weak script and no new revelations to the meaning of life kind of stuff..
It's just a movie and Keanu was not the one.
Bic Runga
I have fallen in love with a kiwi girl (New Zealand) and Bic Runga be thy name. Her music is fantastic to listen to. I have only heard of her for a short while but a favorite is off of her album "Beautiful Collision" called "Honest Goodbyes".
Things are going well in Melbourne, I have met some great people and having a lot of fun. In my honor, we even made home made Reeses Cups and they were terrific! Have been sight seeing and Melbourne has a bit more of a Europe feel to it. The weather isn't known for being the best here but has held out since I have been here. Going to see the 12 Apostles tomorrow.
