Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey everyone..thanks so much for all of the comments...and since everyone loves the pictures, I will try and burn more to a disc soon. These computers here, don't seem to have USB ports, so it makes posting the pictures a little bit of an ordeal. I do have lots more great pictures to post, so look soon, for the latest from New Zealand. I had Thanksgiving right on the Tasman Sea, yesterday. We got a campsite directly on the Sea and make a feast to celebrate. Since our campervan only has a stove and a microwave, we had to opt out of turkey. I told Jayme...that we should have BLT's since it has been like six years since I had one! To those of you, who knew me back in the day...that was all I would ever eat! Since being a vegetarian for 6 years, I have not had a single one till yesterday-Thanksgiving- really the only time of year, that I allow myself to cheat! It was so good I might add! I did finally find veggie burgers here at the grocery store, though, and was beginning to think that that kind of stuff didn't exist in New Zealand. The campervan is great! I logged in two more dives at this place called the Poor Knights Islands, off the east coast on the North Island! It is ranked one of the top 10 subtropical dive spots in the world! I have to agree! The fish would swim right up to you and I also saw two gigantic stingrays and and lots of eels! It was a great experience! Other than that...I have been on a driving tour and just park up the campervan on the ocean every night and go to sleep with the sound of the waves rolling me to sleep! I explored a National Park today, and hiked to a waterfall on Mt. Taranaki! We also passed through a village where the film The Last Samuri was filmed! They used Mt. Taranaki as a backdrop, because it looks similar to Mt. Fuji! Pretty Cool.. More from me real soon...hopefully with some pictures! Joy I loved the pictures by the way...and Cookie....I love you and miss you too! Wish everyone was here! Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!
