Howdy from Nelson, thought I'd do a quick post to say that all is going well on our trip through the northern part of the South Island with Linda and Don. Since arriving here Thursday we've been through Kaikoura, Blenheim, Marlborough Sounds, and are currently enjoying the sunny north. Linda and Don seem to be having a good time and are holding up well on Becky's demanding trekking tour. It's nice to have other people cooking dinner for you every once in awhile. Look for more updates in the near future!
In other news, the ABs continue to whomp their competition in France, beating an undermanned Scotland 40-0. Actually, the match was in Scotland, not France, giving the Scots an odd home game in a tournament that is ostensibly set on the continent. Weird. NZ has had a ridiculously easy opening group in the tournament, leading to a month of non-competitive games before the more trying quarterfinal round begins. This in turns has caused the whole country to fret that they won't get enough good game-time action before they face a real test. Here's hoping that's not the case.
Last, we highly recommend this recent NYTimes article on Couchsurfing (go to www.bugmenot.com if you don't have a nytimes.com account, though they are free). It summarizes the CS experience quite nicely, we think. Maybe we'll be able to convince at least one of our friends/family to get involved with the website. We'll be holding our breath from down here!
