HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

I had a request for some snow in the Keweenaw pictures. Well, here it is. The stuff has really been coming down since I arrived home a couple days before Thanksgiving. This is the view out my mom's living room window to the park across the street in Mohawk. I'm not in New Zealand anymore, that's for sure!!
This weekend was a good time. Finally got up to Copper Harbor for a fun night at the Peter's abode. Was I spoiled, sushi two nights in a row in the Keweenaw!

NEW ZEALAND

Where I went, what I did:
1. Auckland
2.Nelson
3. Five day hike on the Abel Tasman Coastal Track
4. Blenheim
5. Christchurch
6. Hiked the Banks Peninsula Track
7. Queenstown
8. Hiked the Milford Track
9. Wanaka
10. Hiked the Northern Circuit of the Tongariro Crossing




Things I will miss the most about New Zealand:
1. the language
2. backpacking huts with flush toilets and stoves
3. hokey pokey ice cream (oops, yes that is bad!)
4. Wanaka
5. white wine
6. birds
7. the little spoon that comes with my flat white coffee
8. beer and garlic bread the staples of my New Zealand diet when not on the trail.
9. Cinema Paradiso
10. the sun


There were so many little things that made this place so wonderful. Enjoy the photos! This will be a work in progress!!
