Hello from Christchurch

Hello ? Is Nicholas there? How about Benjamin?

There are so many places to play tackle football in these gardens but I think you would have even more fun climbing trees! Some of the big cypress trees are so big that you can walk on the branches without holding on to anything. The picture of this tree has Ally our massage therapist and Amy C. They can't climb trees as well as you... and they are afraid of being up high.

Many of the flowers in this garden are the EXACT same things we have in our front yard. Now I know how they are supposed to look! Lots of Rhodys of all different colors.

I learned another New Zealand word. Do you know what they call a lie? Instead of a lie they say, "Pork Pie". She told a pork pie. Kinda funny, Huh?


I thought you might like this picture of these people playing chess on a HUGE chess board.

As the match wore on, many people crowded around to watch each move. A small cathedral is in the background right in the middle of the city which is beautiful.

It was a sunny day today, so I decided to take a few pictures. The city of Christchurch is really great! So many buildings that have been here for a hundred years or more.

There is only one thing missing about this great place!

YOU!!!!
