HAPPINESS

"He was discovering happiness in the present. When he sat reading in the library, or playing Mozart in the music room, he often felt the invasion of a deep spiritual emotion, as if Shangri-LA were indeed a living essence, distilled from the magic of the ages and miraculously preserved against time..."

Adventure Tramps in Taranaki


Al is standing in the midst of an 80 year old Redwood Forest of New Zealand. We were out on a day tramp (hike) in the nearby trails of Taranki Park.

Mona is at the entrance to the Historic Te Korua Pa with the classical wooden inscription. Many fierce battles were waged at this Maori fortress dating back to 1000 AD.

Al was tramping in the well-preserved pa thru the ditches
of Te Korua Historic Reserve. We spent the day
exploring the "goblin" forest and hiking trails that
are in Taranaki Park, only 1/2 mi. or less from
our beach house.
