We made our way to downtown Hawera for the Christmas parade and shopping
on 13 Dec. It was another nice day in the sun. We came to New Zealand
hoping to stock up on wool products, but it has been a challenge
finding finished goods. Most places just sell yarn. From what we
gather, the majority of raw wool produced (along with dairy products) is
exported for offshore production. We found a nice lady at the local
craft show who weaves as a hobby and bought one of her blankets.

Things American seem popular in New Zealand. We see heaps of American made cars, mostly '60s and '70s, but some newer models. Route 66 is a recurring theme we often see.
