I lost several posts, something was wrong, but what????  Can't remember those two posts contents, so as I remember them I'll stick those reflections in when I do.  Today I was on a bus tour to Akaroa, a French founded town, but they didn't know that the Brits had beat them to NZ by a month or two, so after they discovered they had a French town in a British colony, they remained, and the Brits allowed them to exist like they did in Quebec Canada, so there is a French town in English speaking NZ.  The streets are Rue, the police station is Gerdairams (French word for police).  It is quaint, sea port, tiny village, now a resort destination for NZ folks and tourists alike.  Had a harbor boat tour, cliffs really remarkable, penguins, dolphans, other sea birds...  and white specks high up on the grass cliffs with sheer drops a thousand feet to the rocks or sea below, between the rocks and trees, these were grazing sheep.  The captain of the tour boat explained that the NZ sheep farmers are breeding their sheep with the left front and rear legs shorter than the right legs, so the sheep can stand level on the 45 degree or steeper pastures.  A side effect is that the sheep can't double back to get away from the farmers on the steep slopes, when they are rounding them up at sheering time, saves a lot of time.  But when the farmers put those sheep on flat land he gets lean mutton!
