Raglan


Yes, I love New Zealand! I love the random pigs and sheep that were in my life today! I am in Raglan this weekend because it's the Queen's birthday and we have a long weekend, so I thought Road Trip!! I wish my buddies were with me. I seem to keep getting lost...













Is this not the most lovely place in the whole world?? This is right across from my hostel..























Sunday morning I went into town for breakfast and then I vigorous walk around the town and wharf..a good day..

Driving on the left...is Amazing!



So, this is my wee car. It's a purgeot, I think that is how you spell it. It's a good car. I have lots of names for it( I haven't decided if it's a girl or boy) like Freedom and Samoa. I know these are weird names, but being mobile has made life here One thousand times better and the only radio station that i seem to get in my car is a Samoan one. Hence, the weird names. Sorry this isn't the best of pictures, but I was in a hurry to take it because I was supposed to be doing art history! yes, I am still working on School, and I have nothing left to say except that I have started to run. Yes, me, running....for real. I signed up for 10K charity fun for my church, so if you want to send me some money, just tell my ma. Thanks...

A kiwi weekend..kinda

I wanted to give you an idea of what I might to on an average kiwi weekend, minus church and studying of course. So here goes. Friday night was Fish and Chips and the Pub, unfortunately I left my camera in the car and I do not have any pics of the large quantity of fish that I ate on Friday or the Tui pint...It was a good night. I was up bright and early on Saturday for the matakana Market where I buy most all of my weekly food. I love Vegetables. I have a picture of me below before the market and getting ready to walk down our huge hill/mountain. I had breakfast at the market( see yummy picture), and then bought a basket to put me produce in. My flat mate Sarah was with me, and she talked me into going to see a movie that I didn't really want to see, I was worried that my lettuce would wilt....it didn't. The Matakana theatre is just plane Magic,the movie theartres have names and themes, pretty sweet. I got my veggies home in time to spend an hour in the jewelry class where my tudor had a weekend class going on. Am I boring you yet? I still have more. Anyway, I sawed a slice out of my finger, nothing serious, it happens. I think I need to put something on it, it's kinda infected. After a busy day I climbed my hill to clean my tower and do the wash. Busy day. It's sunday now and I went to church and I am supposed to be doing home work, but instead I am telling you about my weekend....I hope you like this ma and take some of the responsability of me failing art history. Just joking. I am going to try to do better with up dates and pics. I forgot that I named this blog my New Zealand Adventure and I do have adventures, I just don't have time to write about them. Till next time.
