Kia Ora-
Currently I'm sitting her at an internet cafe in Aukland NZ. The smell of urine is so strong I'm going to make this fast.
Just wanted to say thanks to all of you that keep commenting and sending emails. We love to hear news of home, especially when KU is doing so well and the weather that there is snow. Of course I have quite a nice tan by now and have been hanging out at the beaches almost daily.
Tonight Mike and I will celebrate our 5 year anniversary by going out to a nice Indian Restaraunt and spoiling ourselves with lots of wine and dessert. Oh and we also splurged for the double room for some privacy... the dorm just didn't seem appropriate.
Travel is going well. We are just waiting to head to Australia and hopefully will catch a flight to Cairns a city near the Great Barrier Reef to do some snorkeling, scuba diving, and surfing. NZ has been great and of course we don't have near enough time to check everything out so hope to return some day!
Cool things to share:
Here they have the half and whole flush toilet levers. Half flush for #1 and full flush for # 2. It's a water conservation thing. Pretty neat huh? Also the most common phrases are "Choice" which means cool and "Getting Pissed" which means bloody drunk.. Also the vibes here are so chill that anything goes, "No worries" is so commonly used and it's true here. Things seem very safe and the people are genuinely kind and relaxed. Plus it's incredibly hip to be sustainable and you see green practices everywhere! I love it!
So talk later. Love you and Miss you all!
Maggie
