Hey everyone! Sorry that it has been so long since I have written, but life has just gotten kind of crazy. Fun though! I have been living about 20 minutes outside of the city Whangarei (fang a rye). It is really funny what difference the distance makes. If you drove 20 minutes from the center of Portland you would still be in the city, even if you drove 20 minutes from the edge of Portland you would still be relatively populated but my house is up a gravel road that is outside of any speed limits or city jurisdiction. It's really cool at night though! The stars are so bright! I have to walk across a couple of fields to get to my little cottage and I haven't had to use my torch (flashlight :) ) any of the nights. Even when the moon is half full you can still see a shadow, it's nuts!
I am leaving this host and moving out the Coromandel Peninsula on the 29th for a couple of weeks. I will try and keep you a little more updated about it then! Also for everyone that hasn't heard I have been offered the opportunity to crew on a 60ft hand-built sailboat around the country for ~3 months and of course I didn't have to think about that one for very long! That is starting sometime in January. I am starting to really settle in here and have started to get it through my head that no matter what I do there is no way that I can see everything in the time that I have so I am enjoying every moment and letting things happen as they do. It's a much less stressful and much more fun way to travel!
I don't have a whole lot of time right now but I'll put together some good stories and post them up when I get some more interweb time.
Love hearing from you all! Happy Thanksgiving! (early) eat some stuffing for me!
Cheers!
