Reunited in Christchurch

He's ba-ack!  

Brent made it off the ice but just barely.  Not because of weather complications - which was our fear all along - but because he SLEPT THROUGH HIS ALARM!  Many thanks to Pete who woke his ass up and got him on the plane with no time to spare.  He arrived at our flat on the 26th.

I've been kind and worked a couple days of rest into his schedule:)  But - we'll be back on the road again soon.  For now, he's eating a lot of fruit and veggies......
....and doing a lot of this.

And yes - that is a beard on his face.  Believe it or not!
We've been walking and eating our way through Christchurch since his return.  Had some fantastic Indian food with some of Brent's colleagues from the ice on Friday - ate Kabobs in the square and had tons of the best fruit ever from the local farmer's market downtown.  We took in a movie today and saw "Bowling for Columbine".  We've both been anxiously awaiting this release and were not disappointed.   We can't stop talking or thinking about it.

At the risk of falling off my soapbox, let me just put one solid plug in for this movie.  If you do one thing for yourself (and your country) this year.....go see it.  No propaganda - just real life presented in a both funny and moving way.  To enhance the experience, we highly recommend seeing it in a foreign country....
