Hey John Bear :-)

Howzit Kik? :-)

Taken at the lodge our group stayed at for the workshop, located deep in the bush and quite a way from civilization. The lodge itself was built by the tribe belonging to that area using the surrounding forest for material. It was specifically built for education purposes and didn't rely upon government funding....so the tribe, or Iwi as tribes are known as in Enzed utilized their own resources, ie, forest, builders, and whatever else they needed themselves. It truly is a beautiful, peaceful place :-)








This is a Totara tree, said to be female by our old people. She is only a baby though @ 200 years old

hey KiK


that looks simply beautiful K.. wow.. I KNEW you'd have a great time.. can't wait to hear more this weekend.. looking forward to our 'chat'.. although THIS time.. I'm gonna ask who I'm talking to first

I've been many parts of the world until now. You might ask me about 80 countries. It's very nice to see so many of them.
Aka the Tourist :)))

80?? WOW very cool!! good for you.. I've not been so lucky yet.. some day though.. I'll get to every one of 'em.. at least thats the plan

I traveled to Thailand,Singapore,UAE and Malaysia and planning in this summers to turkey because I love people of turkey they are so much petty.

I saw england featured on ur bucket list. It is a must go destination with so much to offer. I suggest you start in london. Everyone who is everyone is there.people from your country canada included. Places to visit would be hyde park, Madame Tusords and if you want to get the freight of ur life, visit the London Dungeon that is just outside London Bridge station. Another place worth visiting is China Town in central london which is an experience and a half

thanks for the suggestions Seth.. much appreciated!!

oooh.. the dungeon's?? AWEsome.. definitely going THERE when I make it to the UK!! thanks again for the ideas!
