Photos from Niseko, Japan

Matthew and I had a good time on our second snowboarding trip to Niseko, Japan with our friends Lindsay and Grant. Snowboarding, onsen (hot springs), Japanese food and sake - what's not to enjoy? :)

We even saw a red fox one night when we were walking to dinner. Unfortunately, it was too far away and too cold for me to take off my gloves to get a picture.

This year we went slightly later in the season, and had slightly iffy conditions at the beginning of the week, but midweek it started snowing again and didn't stop!

Photos from Wellington Trip

Last weekend we went to Wellington, New Zealand for our friends Angelica and Jono's wedding. It was our first time to NZ! Wellington is a cool little city -- very pretty harbour, lots of coffee and craft beer, etc. We even got a chance to do a little wine tasting in Martinborough, where we visited Palliser Estate, Schubert Wines, Ata Rangi and Coney Wines (Schubert had our favourite Pinot noir of the day). We're looking forward to getting back to NZ for a longer visit sometime.




the happy couple!
