New Zealand 2010

Here are some of my favorite pictures from my trip to Christchurch, New Zealand.  On Sept. 4, 2010 a major 7.2 earthquake struck the city, and although the city has come a long way in 6 weeks, there are still a lot of damaged buildings that are being repaired.

Moutains in New Zealand 2010

Went to Christchurch, New Zealand in Oct. 2010.  Spent an entire day with a group of strangers going on an exursion.  We visited the moutains where all 3 trilogies of 'The Lord of the Rings' were filmed, Hammond Peek was our tour guide. He is really funny!  And, awesome.
