Vicki's post was brief because the internet service here is very unreliable. We are enjoying our travels very much. New Zealand and Australia are very much like the US except they are a younger country and very much friendlier. We are being spoiled and are enjoying the winter weather here (in the 60's, great for walking around) We've seen koalas, wallabies, kangaroos, and little blue penguins in their natural environments. We are currently in Melbourne, which is a pretty, clean, inviting city.
That's it for now.
