March 3, 2007: We went to a New Zealand Country Fair in a small town called Otorohanga, known as the Kiwiana Capital of New Zealand. The fair was billed as having "all things kiwi" and we got to see sheep shearing contests, sheep dog demonstrations and also kiwi arts and crafts. We also got to taste kiwi food and hear kiwi music (which was actually American country music). There were booths that had Maori's giving tattoos - - interesting to watch. The kids got to go on rides -- their favorite was trying the Zorb -- a huge ball that they could climb inside and roll around.

Laura & Joel:
Thanks so much for the heads-up last week to where I could find the blog. I have been anxious to hear how you all are doing! I can't believe it's almost a month since you left PA...you missed the snow, though your weather looks fantastic! Your clan seems to be quite adventurous! I've been enjoying the commentary, scenery, and learning some new things, and I was happy to see pics of you two in the mix as well!
Be well & have fun!
I'll check in again!

Thanks for checking, Maria. We'll be posting more as we travel. We're really sad that we had to substitute the beaches in NZ for all the PA snow :)
