http://nzderrick.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Derrick in New Zealand. Tuesday, March 27, 2007. I think I look pretty awake here at 6:15 am in the car on the way to Moa Point (big feeding grounds for the fishies). So we got to the shore of Moa Point and it was already light out, and the sunrise made the earliness feel good. It felt right to be out there with Mother Nature at 6:30 am Kevin uploaded pics and you can see them here. Fast forward to 8:30 am the next day, on Sunday. I was getting ready to head out on a day trip with more of the same wo...

Derrick in New Zealand. Sunday, April 22, 2007. Pie day in new zealand! Anyways, I baked a kiwi lime pie (no key limes in New Zealand, go fig! Everyone liked it and a key lime pie fan said it was great! Lori is our master in-house baker so she outdid herself and baked 3 gorgeous pies that looked so professional. Her French Silk (chocolate cream), Apple, and Pecan pies wowed everyone not only in looks but in taste. Posted by derrick @ 2:35 PM. Tuesday, April 03, 2007. Ackshun Pakkd Weeeekend: Part Deux.

Lori's NZ Blog: July 2007
http://lsmallwood.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 18, 2007. First of all, yes I know I'm terrible at updating this blog. I don't think anyone reads it anyway, but just in case there is a reader or two out there, keep in mind that a couple of my friends also post to blogs and post pictures and we frequently do things as groups. For example, check out Derrick's pie day and boat dive entries in his blog. Also, check out Kevin's pictures of a cool boat dive. Wetook a while back. Where ever we go, someone always has a camera. Hey, whats this?

Saturday, May 19, 2007. It's the little things. What I did instead, after working out, was go eat at one of the few places I've found that doesn't give me Egg White 'Tude and get the "veg breakfast" with steamed spinach and tomatoes and mushrooms, and get a $3, 3-ounce espresso drink that's served in a tiny cup with a microscopic handle and is gone in three sips. My options, as I see them, are:. Move back to America. Open Wellington's first American Diner. Stop living in a fog of nostalgia.

In their pen, a safe distance away! There were also some great waterfront restaur...
