Daniela y Facundo, our two most favorite friends in CherryLand.

Cherries, cherries, cherries, never have I touched, squuezed, dreamed of, sang about, or thought more completely about a fruit. Cherries....Always wash your fruits and veggies before you eat them. Believe me, I am merely one person in the chain of events of how that scrumdittliuomptious little morsel gets to your mouth. And I can tell you, witohut question, that you should always at least run things in the tap. Piece of advice #1, learned in Central Otago, working for Summerfruit Ltd on Earnscleugh Road. #2, be prepared.

Peter and I are celebrating our first day off in 12 days. Whew! We're staying at a little lodge with skiiers in the summer, rolling our bellies around after an incredible dinner of Indian food again, more local Suavignon Blanc, and a walk back round Wanaka Lake. We have met some incredibly fun and wonderful people, our Spanish is improving tremendously; Peter can speak complete sentences now, que bueno! Beauty surrounds us everywhere we look, and we're building so much character everyday, you wouldn't believe it.
