That is because we have been quite busy leaving Queenstown, and since then we have been traveling through the Catlins which is basically no-mans land (no internet). Before I post about our trip heading back north (coming soon for sure), I wanted to reflect a bit on the awesome season we had in Queenstown. The snow might not have been the best, but we had a great time and met a lot of good friends. Also, I think I promised some snowboarding photos, so here are a bunch of them. Too bad there weren't more good ones, but we really didn't have the camera out on the slopes too often. <img src="http://focus.circulargenius.com/images/ride2.jpg" "snowboarding"/> Beth catching some air @ Cardrona <img src="http://focus.circulargenius.com/images/ride3.jpg" "snowboarding"/> Our mate Tim catching some air @ Cardrona <img src="http://focus.circulargenius.com/images/ride4.jpg" "snowboarding"/> Our mate Rob riding a rail @ Coronet <img src="http://focus.circulargenius.com/images/ride5.jpg" "snowboarding"/> Josh (me) grabbing his board in a nice headless shot <img src="http://focus.circulargenius.com/images/ride6.jpg" "snowboarding"/> Rob doing a face plant shortly after cutting off my head from an otherwise nice photo (above) <img src="http://focus.circulargenius.com/images/ride1.jpg" "snowboarding"/> Josh looking goofy on a Coronet Peak rail <img src="http://focus.circulargenius.com/images/ride7.jpg" "snowboarding"/> Beth tearing up Ohau <img src="http://focus.circulargenius.com/images/ride8.jpg" "snowboarding"/> Our mate Frasier looking slightly less goofy than normal It has been quite a while since my last post.

It's nice to see both you and Beth enjoying the slopes and "catching some air." I love the downhill view of the lake. The "rails" look rather tricky--not for someone my age. Where is your van headed? Will you fly from Auckland to Australia? When? And what becomes of the van? It's really been a good things for you. Your photos are really fun!

Guess the above message sent twice after all. Never had that happen before. BTW, I had a first today: I was filling out a form that asked for Jon's and your addresses. For yours, I wrote: "not available--traveling." Cool, huh? Bet the person reading the form wishes he/she could say that, too! ;-) Drool, drool. XOXOX Oops!

It makes me want to try snowboarding, but I think it is best if I just keep skiing. It sure is beautiful. I am glad it was fun for the two of you. What great shots!!!
