I spent the day touring Christchurch, NZ as our ice flight had a 24 hour delay. I traveled with 2 firefighters and the new base doctor. We hopped a bus and went to the city center. When I got there I was pleasantly surprised by the new life there! The last time I was there all I saw was the devastation from the earthquakes that occurred in September 2010 and February 2011. This time the area had vibrance and life! Don't get me wrong there were still plenty of buildings that were still injured but there were also many new buildings and construction abounded! We spent some time down there and then hopped another bus to go to New Brighton Beach! It was so nice to see the ocean again! The boys told me it was the Pacific.
