This might be the last posting for a while since I'm getting cut off from free internet. It's actually up to date. This past weekend, Amanda and I and Petey and two friends, Elizabeth and Megan (from Platzberg, NY (sp?) and Colorado respectively) went to the southernmost point of New Zealand - Steward Island, a ferry ride off the southern coast. The island boasts a population of 390 humans and 20,000 kiwi birds. We tramped 36K over three days and saw some cool birds - a bellbird, a tui, an oystercatcher, a fantail...some seagulls. No kiwi needless to say since I didn't really feel like wandering around the forest at night. I heard one and feel pretty content about that. The bottom photo is the view when we took the ferry back to shore on the last day.
