My very dear friend, Ellen, left Vancouver on January 9 to begin her "Eat, Pray, Love" year. Her first destination is New Zealand, and she is at the moment based in Nelson on the South Island. She has been attending classes on various forms of fabric arts, and learning about the many different kinds of sheep in New Zealand!
She has also been touring the northern part of the South Island. She made a trip to Farewell Spit, which is the northernmost point on the South Island, stretching into Tasman Bay. It is a nature reserve that is a bird sanctuary and wetlands. Here is one of her pictures from this area.
Ellen also went on a boat mail run which is part of the postal service. Having tourists come along makes the boat run more financially viable. They travelled along the Polorus Sound and there are mussel farms all through this area. They could observe the farms and how the mussels were harvested and taken to market. Here is one of her pictures:
Enjoy yourself Ellen! I miss you.
