Kiwis Rock!

My daughter is working her College Junior internship at a national museum in Wellington, New Zealand this semester.

On her first email to me from Middle Earth she writes:

There is so much green here. Even in the most urban areas, there are trees and bushes.

They even seem to be properly maintained."

I doff my cap to my Kiwi Colleagues!

I remember driving through Wellington and being impressed by the large trees and how well they seemed maintained. New Zealand really is a beautiful place.

Another place I need to go, for sure!

My brother travelled there in 2006-ish. He said the Kiwi culture was very cool. He also told me about these little meat pies they sold, usually from smaller street vendors. He said he'd never had anything like that anywhere else.

I'd skip the meat pies, but don't miss the bot gdn in hamilton. we in the usa could learn a lot from their system of training arborists.
