Fantastic journey...

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2003)

Just thought I'd drop you a few lines to let you know we're back from our vacation. This year, we went to Middle Earth. Spent two wonderful days with a remarkable tour guide, a gentleman named Peter Jackson. He's well-versed in the lore of the region, and never once bored us with his take on things Tolkein. We traversed terrain the likes of which we never imagined existed. The locals were a colorful lot, and quite unforgettable- in particular, a fellow mostly skin and bones who went about on all fours and wore nothing more than a wash-rag loincloth. (I daresay the chap wasn't quite all there, as he was often overheard conversing with himself.) The countryside literally came alive for us as we travelled. Reminded me somewhat of our trip to Oz.
Well, I must be off. Here's hoping you're the same.
