On Saturday, April 5, Jody and I attended the New Zealand Orchestra and experienced wonderful performances of Tchaikovsky's Sym. #4, Wagner's Siegfried Idyll, and Korngold's Violin Concerto in D Major. Being a big classic film fan, Korngold's piece was a special treat for me as it incorporated his scored film music from ANOTHER DAWN, ANTHONY ADVERSE, and THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER. A perfect evening.

On Wednesday, April 2, JoeAnn, Brendan, and I visited Te Papa, the Wellington National Museum, while Jody worked. It was the first time I had been there and was quite an experience. To do it justic would require several visits.    Wellington Harbor fro the top floor of the museum.  A Maori shipping vessel.  The Treat of Waitangi which brought peace between the indigenous Maori tribes and the British colonists, but which did not keep the British from taking most of the Maori land.  A Maori Temple and JoeAnn.   The Beatles in New Zealand.         |
