After the disappointing performance by the US in the Round of 16 at the World Cup my daughter and her husband are cutting short their vacation in the lands down under. But before they return they will enjoy a couple of side trips to experience more of what this area of the world has to offer. By now they are on their way to Auckland and tomorrow they're off to Fiji (a 2100 mile 3-hour flight) for a few days to try to forget all about soccer. Then back to Auckland for a previously arranged outing to see and maybe interact with red pandas. After that comes the long flight back to California.

Here's a shot from April 2018 that I revisited and reprocessed...

   

I hope it has been or will be a good day for all of you.
