Flickr
It's amazing what you can do with technology these days...
Now that we've got almost our entire life in pictures on flickr I don't think you'll ever run out of armchair adventures.
Check it out...but make sure you have lots of time on your hands before you start...actually, we've got another dozen countries to add!

Anyway, upcoming is our trip home September 1 - October 8...we'll try to divide the time between Loma Linda family and friends, Georgia and N.C. family and friends...then we might slip off to Peru with Mindi if time allows.
I've been doing health lectures in Queenstown (the adventure capital). Yesterday we had a great time discovering the hidden meaning behind food advertising. Here they have athletes advertise for lamb and beef, milo (a chocolate drink), and who knows what other "health" foods!
The scary thing is, people buy it! I'm forever having my patients tell me what is good for them and what they "need."
Colostrum, hot peppers....all sorts of disgusting things they can't live without. You'd be surprised at the health remedies I hear daily.
Well, more later, patients arriving as we speak.

Buy a view!
We've been looking at homes lately. Maybe just for fun but seriously...I didn't know you could still buy views like these!
Riverton is the next 20 minutes over and you can get a beachfront home from 300K (NZ). Views like this might cost you an extra 200K. It reminds me of New England...say Bar Harbour, Maine or someplace like that. The view you see here is just 5 minutes from the nearest surf beach and 10 minutes from another.
