they guy to my left here at the internet cafe has a receding hairline, nearly bald head, and a rattail. attractive.
i arrived in auckland, gross, seriously jet-lagged, and confused six months ago today. which puts me halfway through my visa. (today i'm not feeling homesick. i think it's because i started following the primaries again, and read a newspaper article about some seriously scary right-wingers supporting hillary. and because we've been packaging fish for publix in a very wasteful manner and it has me off being american with our very wasteful ways.)
planning the australian getaway, a full itinerary will be posted shortly, when i finally make all of my bookings. hopefully for the right days, as i mis-booked my tasmanian portion for three days after i actually want to arrive. i hope i can get that fixed.
lastly, i tried to attend a talk on edward lear on sunday at the public library (at which i am a very enthusiastic member), only to be turned away because there were far too many people for the room they chose. i can't say that i expected that!
Sara,
ReplyDeleteHum who would of thought back at Cornell that you would be in New Zealand and I'd be stuck in Cedar Rapids. Wait, that isn't really all that surprising. Got your info at a wedding I attending with Ms. Ericka and thought I'd drop you a line. Hope you are having tons of fun for those of us who are married with children and don't get out of the house if it isn't to go to work or the grocery store. Even packaging fish so long as they are New Zealand fish is more exciting. Plus you can cozy on up to some nice peeps with wonderful accents that make you want to "ooh" in pleasure or maybe that is just me.
That guy sounds HOTT.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on making it 6 months. You are a much more courageous traveler than I. I can't believe you'll be going to Australia now. I actually have a friend whose doing the back pack through Australia thing right now. I should forward you some of her emails :)
