It’s 7:30 at night and the sun is still up.  The days here are long and wonderful.  Here’s the view this evening from our cockpit.

I love this girl.

We spend all day, every day, together.  24/7 with the brief exception of a few minutes apart every other day or so.  I never get tired of being with her.  Amazingly, she never seems to get tired of me.

People have asked me to write a book sharing the secret of our marriage.  I could write that book but it would only need one page and two words to divulge the secret: Marry Cyndi!  She is the secret to my happiness.

Today for example, we hung around together, went to town for ice cream, got a pizza for dinner and watched old Star Treks.  What a wonderful day, as all of them are when I’m with her. I wish you all the kind of happiness I have.  -Rich

Even the dogs in New Zealand are amazing!

Here’s one of Cyndi’s “From the Car” pictures showing that at least here on the North Island, from what we’ve seen, New Zealand should be famous for cows, not sheep.  Oh yes, there have been a few sheep here and there, but there are lots of cows; fat, happy, healthy looking cows.

On our walk to Whale Bay, the scenery was incredible.  Here’s an example.

Here’s a link to a Google map that shows the area where these pictures were taken.
