Day 5 in New Zealand

Technology is failing me today.  I've been trying to upload a video we took at the course today but the internet will not let me do it.  It also won't let me rotate photos, even after rotating them in iPhoto, so you're going to have to crane your neck to see them.  I'm working on fixing this issue but hey, at least it let me do three whole pictures!

Update from today: We're back from the course after having a successful couple of rows in the doubles and a yummy lunch.  Abby and Ursula are hanging out in the altitude tent that's set up in their rooms, and Vic and I will get in after dinner.  The weather here has been gorgeous so far and from what we've heard, we're lucky because last week it was horrible.  

Thanks to everyone who has sent us good luck emails and supported us through donations.  We're still fundraising for this trip, so if you want to help us out, click here for the link.  

Signing off from Wednesday in NZ...for those of you who haven't seen Wednesday Oct. 27th yet, it's a sunny one!

The sign on our altitude tent.  Mt. Cook is the highest mountain in NZ and its summit also happens to be at the same altitude as the tent.  Who can guess what MF stands for?  It's a good thing Abby brought her arts & crafts because we're clearly getting a lot of use out of them as we sit in the tent.
