I'm Baaack & Hello There Isaiah

Well sorry, its been slow the last two weeks. I was traversing the South Island for a week or so and when we got back we had to immediately go on another one to the Taupo/Rotorua area. Both were GREAT times and the second trip was all expenses paid by Loyola- can't beat that.

This post of course is not going to cover those expeditions, they'll come later on. Instead I'd like to brag about MY NEW NEPHEW!! My sister-in-law Kristin and brother Nathaniel (congratulations) said howdy to him in person on April 15th. His name is Isaiah and I reckon he'll grow up to be a ladies man. You can already tell from the pictures below they'll be swooning over him in no time.
Oh yes, I'm sure you've noticed the stagnant poll. I'll try to make a new one. But congratulations to the 4 who new Aotearoa meant "Land of the long white cloud." However, I have little doubt that its just my friends that are over here with me that voted for it. Cheaters.

So like I said, I'll be posting some of my travels from the South Island shortly. Since my travel journalism class is now over they'll probably be more pictures and less writing. I might also try to make a slide show and just narrate it. We'll see how this goes....
