SNOW! SWEET!

Rained for like 6 hours last night, thunder and lightening and all, but we woke up to SNOW on the mountain tops. Seriously folks, watch LOTR and that is where we are. It is surreal to see the snow on the mountain tops and the perfect line where it changes to the lush green of spring.
Went out to Twizel (long I) to pay for our new car and had dinner at the Korner Kafe, where the lady who sold us our car works. I have never had chicken satay like that... I seriously need to send some of it home, or steal the sauce recipe! PHENOM! Went to Roseann and Malcolm's for drinks after that and had a lovely time. Roseann is the extraordinary paperwork woman that I am going to try and live up to, and Malcolm is our top tow pilot. Wonderful people... and Roseann is apparently going to teach me to make a new dessert that Marc seems to come back here every year just to eat!
Hopefully the weather will stay nice today, and the sun coming out may encourage some travellers so that Marc can get his fix of flying. It seems he is content nerding out with his digital camera at the moment, but that may not last long once the wave starts working.

Another day in Elven paradise...
