Anyway, these are very nice pics. When I was there was well before digital photography so all I have are fading Ectachrome slides. But it was nice to see how Christchurch has changed (not all that much, really).

Christchurch is one city I really am looking forward to seeing. I am equally excited about all the geographic diversity, I think thats what I like about California as well. We immigrated to the US when I was 7 yrs old and I havent been back yet. I do have duel citizenship so if things get to bad here at home, you'll know where to find me....
