Or should I say yet another tragedy in Christchurch. We visited Christchurch five years ago, at the end of our 5½-week vacation in New Zealand. At that point, in March of 2014, Christchurch was still recovering from the earthquakes in September of 2010 and February of 2011, the latter of which resulted in 185 deaths and which caused so much destruction especially in the central business district.
Even with the devastation of the earthquakes, Christchurch was still one of the highlights of our trip. I wrote about our time in Christchurch here, and I wanted to link to it today in memory of those who were killed in Christchurch and in honor of the resilience of the people of Christchurch – and New Zealand.

Note: The Re:START mall, which was referred to in my post, has shutdown, which is a good thing because it shows that Christchurch has rebuilt.
