Windy Wellington


We lived in Wellington for 11 months in 2007 and 2008 and absolutely loved it.  We took a stroll down memory land one weekend when we took the 7 hour drive from Hamilton to Wellington.  This is a view of the apartment we lived in from our hotel in Wellington. There was a little circus on the front lawn.

Chaffer's Dock, our old apartment building right on the harbor.  Our apartment was on the third floor in the middle of this side of the building.

At our favorite Italian restaurant in Wellington.  It use to be Maria Pia's, but Giuseppe took it over. 
He was a great host!

Hot Club Sandwich performing at Old Saint Paul's.  We went to Wellington specifically on the first Friday in March to hear them play.  It was one of our favorite things to do when we lived there.
