Wow, really enjoyed the read!!! Couldn't help but feeling all along a strong desire to come and visit and why not, partake by volunteering... Doable?? Lots of love and blessings from a "Black Cat!"

Oh, I almost forgot about this! While on our 25th anniversary trip to New Zealand (a delightful time in Creation by the way), we were staying with missionary friends who live part time in Kaikoura and the other in Papua and Vanuatu. They suggested we go out and swim with the Dusky Dolphins nearby. There is a marine trench near Kaikoura that is home to many species; rich in food sources it even attracts whales. As we swam amidst a large pod of dolphins estimated at about 300, one particular one kept swimming with me, even rubbing up against my wetsuit. As I circled around squeaking, he did the same with me. So say what you will, but I know. };-) ❤️
