Rubbish, Motorways, and looking right, then left.

We made it to New Zealand, good times were had on our 12 hour flight from LAX, lots of free wine and endless movies. Now we are in Wellington, we saw some volcanoes, and Eric smells, more updates to come.

Oh, and it looks like we are going to be having some nice warm nights ahead as me and Eric share a bed in the bitter cold of the NZ winter. We want to give a big thanks to Rob Langridge for offering his house and a nice comfy bed for us boys to share. NZ seams to be quite the place so far.

Blasting at the mine

The video below is of a blast at the mine.

Look closely at the beginning and you can see the whole thing ignite

Will anyone want to read my blog?

I have never had a blog, is my life exciting enough that other poeple want to read about it? I figure that Pictures from New Zealand should at least attract some attention. 

Recently life has been busy, I finished work at the Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mine on Thursday. Since then I have been preparing for New Zealand. We will be leaving tuesday afternoon so I have been quite busy getting things together. 

I am looking forward to Zion's arrival in Colorado Springs tomorrow (sunday) night. 

My hope is that this blog will provide a glimpse into our adventures in New Zealand so that friends and family can see pictures and read about what we are up to on the other side of the world.

Hopefully there will be many pictures of New Zealand to come, but so far all I have are pictures from the mine and Victor Colorado:
