Tuesday night 22 February
Wonderful day with Susan and Jay. Their house is just amazing. Fourteen feet ceilings, big airy rooms, wonderful views. Susan made gazpacho  and Jay prepared crab. Delish!!! Susan took us for a drive and then a walk. Went also to the black (iron) beach on the Tasman Sea. So glad we had this stop.

The amazing house of height, air and light....

The Tasmin Sea and the black sand



The Christchurch earthquake has devastated that city. This is the 4,000th tremor /earthquake the city has experienced in six months. Two hundred people are missing.  Fifty percent have no electricity' 80 percent have not running water
OK... wish we could end on a happier note.
