For Liz and Ralph

Whoa...

Barefoot in the grocery store...and how 'bout my sneaky iphone photo work?

by the way...

It is quite common for "Kiwis" (native New Zealanders), to not wear shoes.  I will show proof tomorrow...

auto oddity #4

Honda Accord Wagon

Had the pleasure of stumbling across the "Wellington Shake 'em on Downers" at the waterfront, a very tight dixieland jazz band...I want in!!!!

For Ian...

My choice NZ brew...

(By the way, the NZ native bird, "Tui", is awesome!  They have the coolest bird calls)

Chicken chips?

Lighters out to lunch

Half of this table also worked at Disney with me..."it's a small world" (pun stolen from Karen Ryan)

*and yes, I ate something other than those fries!

Wattie's trying to trick ya

Wow, pretty gutsy to rip off a trademark shape when you know your bottle is going to be right next to the original...

You're driving?!

still doing double-takes at kids sitting on the left side of the car...

auto oddity #3

Toyota WiLL VS

After some internet sleuthing, Toyota WiLL VS, is the over-seas version of the Scion re-brand...I think the US got the bum end of that deal, this is way cooler...You could drive this car backwards and it would almost look like it was the front of the car...

Mt. Victoria Sunrise

The Larder is my fav

Lunch at The Larder, with my Office-mate John...

Hell yeah

Today was the first day getting out of work before sun down, probably because it was Saturday...so I rushed to the coast, shot with my DSLR...

Camo Car

My rental doing what it is best at...blending in with the sky

First proper photo

It's been all iPhone photos so far, here is one from my DSLR: this morning on the way to work

Craziest unit of measurement so far...

It's 10° C outside, the speed limit is 70 kph...but kilojoule?!  Flashback to high school physics...

new meets old

I wonder when the last time anyone used either of them...

auto oddity #2

Mitsubishi Delica

Looks like it's got a little Ford Flex in it's blood...

Wellington Botanical Garden

humidity was about 300%...and then rain came in sheets...it was awesome

New Zealand Olympic Museum

Randomly walked by the NZ Olympic Museum in Wellington, and it was open...and free, can't beat that combo.  Went in, and it was quite boring, BUT...outside they have bars marking the high jump and pole vault world records...so that was cool stand next to.  (the yellow and red bars in the bottom picture)

auto oddity #1

The first of many entries...

Honda Odyssey Wagon

Loving the different cars over here, so "auto oddity" will be a re-occurring post theme...and I think 3 people are going to like this...(B, E, and I)

quack quack

Car parked for work

My sky blue machine rental...

Travel Day(s)

Sitting at Logan...

These guys looked cinematic...(picture them walking slow-mo)

Dinner, Thank you Weta and Qantas...

Landing in Wellington...

Greenest grass I have ever seen...

had the afternoon free, and decided to go for a run with my iphone, instead of walking around with my big camera.

Wow...about 300 yards from my hotel

Night before I leave

Happy birthday to dad, and a fabulous dinner at the Fair View Inn in Marshfield, MA.

Getting on the plane tomorrow, and any pics to follow after that...
