I just got back from my visit to New Zealand. I was very happy to get to
finally meet Malcom Watts in person! I was impressed with his lab work,
and I'll be posting some pictures on my web site as soon as they get back
from the processing lab ( I shot over 430 pictures in NZ, so it will take a
few days to get it all back!) I was not impressed with the antiquated
power system in Aukland, though Wellington was better. I really like NZ
and the people there - very friendly and thoughtful. Malcom, thanks again
for the tour and dinner!
