A couple of shots of Whiritoa Beach, Coromandel Penninsula, New Zealand. Our summer place is here... and its now summer!

Got space for me? I'm coming.
John, with your talents, I will build a space for you so you can do the finishing while you're here. Meals and beer included my friend.
odd - I was just thinking about my snowboard and posting images of our ski club at Mt Ruapehu - nothing like skiing on an active volcano to wake your day up!
Canada is drop-dead gorgeous isn't it! Its soooo vast and wild. Love the landscapes...

Be it a volcano or plates smashing together matters not, mountains can be a lot of fun as long as you're not rolling down one.
Not sure, I live west of the Rockies. I hear Canada can be rather cold this time of year. Near the ocean, where the pics were taken, I didn't my jacket.
Yes, our cars are vast and our women are wild.
Me too, I wish I was a painter.
Mind you after I win the lottery, NZ is definitely on the list. You guys may not be big but you make up for it with what you have... and I'm not talking lamb here.
Few things beat Vancouver, BC on a nice day. I'd love to find myself living there one day.

Hi Don,
If I wanted to live in a city, Victoria would probably be my first choice, although it certainly was nicer 30 years ago.
I live out in the sticks myself and like it just fine, but when you say further up the Island, where do you have in mind...Alert Bay? The Campbell River or...? Vancouver Island is one long, long Island. I'm sure that anywhere up there would suite me, and having been born in the NW, I already have webbed feet.

Victoria is nice. Actually, Seattle is nice on a summer day as well. Too bad the waterfront is wrecked by a major arterial and a major highway running straight through (imagine if Seattle had the city planning that went into the design of Vancouver... man...) This time of year is the perfect time to curl up in one of the independent coffee shops, though.

Put me to work, eh?
I can drink a lot of beer and eat a lotta grub - might not seem like an equitable deal for you after about a year or so...
I'd like to get out there one of these days and have a look at what I've been missing. Not much in the way of mountains around here. Ski hills don't count, even if they call them 'mountains'.

(We're on Van. Island, half way up the east coast--Comox valley)
Most cities were probably "better" 30 years ago, n'est ce pas?
Best, Don
