Nelson has a jazz festival every summer. It started last Wednesday and runs through Sunday. We went to see one of the bands the Thursday night. They were a 4 person band and were pretty entertaining. They even played a little Steely Dan, so that made us happy! The population level is low enough that clubs are not crowded. The entire south island has only about 1 million people. No indoor smoking rules make it a little more enjoyable for us non-smokers.
We packed Brenda off on her way home yesterday. She was only here 10 non-travel days and her stay went by quickly as we were pretty busy taking day trips and seeing the sights. Chris stays on for another week.

Scott,
I have been enjoying your writeups and pictures. Sounds like a great place to visit. How is the golf course compared to others around here?

Hi Jim!
The golf courses are not watered other than the tees and greens. Consequently, they are at the mercy of the weather. Their condition is not as well manicured as ours, but the green fees are accordingly cheaper. Most places are about $20 NZD or about $16 USD. For the kind of golf I play, they are just fine. It is a spectacular place. Hope you and Mary Sue are well.
Scott
