Spring is on the rise here and the riverside is glowing with that fresh light green of new leaves budding.  Days are getting warmer and the fields are being tilled.  The hillsides are alive with grazing sheep, and insects are beginning to buzz in the late day sun.  Fresh fish filled my pan last night and sleep carried me away to dreams of more to come. 

I mustn't neglect to mention the people here.  Every Kiwi I've met has been exceptionally friendly and hospitable.  They seem to be perpetual optimists as well. 

As you can tell I've been in vacation mode and probably will for a short while longer, but NZ is expensive.  My current spending won't sustain, so my next move may be to find work in the fruit industry or otherwise.  Until the next time, Turangi Libre and I are signing off to try and catch some more monter rainbows. 

Cheers
