Excerpts
by Kevin Armstrong
For me, an Albertan from the wide expanse of the praries, New Zealand is a small place. Tell me, Mr. Stead, can a town with a few pleasant acres be considered picturesque? Yes, Keri Keri has that pretty little valley with the river, marin, and "New Zealand's oldest stone building," but what else? One-level shopping plazas. A store-lined main street. It was a strange point of pride for me that in the week spent there with Mary, I never once set foot in the Old Stone Store. After all, I'm a traveller, not a tourist.
