Kerikeri, NZ: Dear Ladds
Dear Sandy, Josh, and Roger,
We brought only greetings from John's sister Diana, your friend and colleague when you lived in California nearly 20 years ago. Oh, and a bottle of wine, too, which went well with the lovely salmon dinner and your Mum's desserts and your good company, don't you think? Small tokens, really, for a couple of nights of warm Kiwi hospitality. Thank you!
You have a good life in your bright house with open land all around. It was so quiet the day we rested while you were at work -- the ocean breezes filtered nicely through the doors and windows of your house. After four months of travel, it was nice to have a couple of days away from holiday parks and the queries of other travelers. We were sorry that we could not meet your daughter kelly, but tell her we enjoyed sleeping in her room with the pink walls and butterflies.
Give those trees the same care as your son, and they will grow tall and strong just like him! What an achievement for him to be a member of the National inline hockey team. Safe travels as you criss-cross the country for the games.
And can we adopt Kelly's mum as our Kiwi mother? Not one, but TWO desserts! What a special lady -- we were so glad to meet her.
Ollie the dog cried when we left in the morning. He made us feel like part of the family, too. Thanks for giving us two days of your very busy lives. And when you come back to California to visit, someday soon we hope, we will see each other again!
Love, John and Doris
