A memory of our first trip to Christchurch was one of shock and sadness
as we viewed crumbled buildings and devastation beyond imagination,
everywhere we traveled, caused by multiple major earthquakes that hit
the Christchurch area several years ago.
Our
last trip to Christchurch was filled with the beauty of spring,
renewal, and the tenacity and determination of the wonderful people
living here who are rebuilding their homes, their city and their lives.
