The Many Faces of Penguins
Penguins!
This picture was taken in Christchurch the morning that Rob left.  We had a bit of time before a city bus that would take us to a hitching location left, so I took care of an errand.  Valerie asked what took me so long, but I didn't tell her.  I said, "You'll find out someday."  And she did when I sent her this picture.  We had been looking for a penguin costume for Rob the previous day, but we didn't find it.  This time, it was the "Mother of All Costumes."

Mr. Moose and the 'GuinsValerie and 'Guins Too


During our hitch between Christchurch and Oamaru we ran across this sign.  This isn't a joke.  Penguins really did cross there.  Some places have "Moose Crossing" and other places have "Frog Crossing" signs.  New Zealand has "Penguins Crossing" signs.  This is a picture that had to be taken.  History demanded it.
