So, I have a lot to write. I believe I had just ended my time in Wanaka when I blogged last so here we go! After Wanaka Christina, Kay and I went to Fox Glacier. We stayed for two nights. The first day Kay and I walked to lake Matheson and did that walk. We didn't have a car of course so we had to walk to the walk. It turned out to be a lot farther than we expected. While we were at the lake we met this really cool Dutch family who offered us a ride back to town!...

I arrived in wanaka on Monday afternoon and made it to my backpackers. I was in a four bed all girls dorm. I didn't request it but it was really nice! Then I went to the New World grocery store downtown, hungry. Don't do that! I walked out carrying all the things I wanted to eat. I had pesto and olives and blue cheese and bread and eggs and yogurt. As soon as I start walking home I think, "and what am I going to be eating all week?" I managed though! Luckily ever...

I am on the road again! In order to get to Wanaka from Waimate I had to come to Ashburton first. Yesterday I left my host family and took the bus to Ashburton and I spent the night at Ramblers Rest.

Yesterday my roommate and I did a long walk along the river. There were so many beautiful rocks! I wanted to take...

I've been in Waimate for a little over a week. It has been pretty quiet. For around four hours each day I work doing odd jobs and weeding. Warren Wilson accepted me into class of 2018! I am very excited to be attending my first choice school, yay! The first Saturday I was here we went to the strawberry festival to watch Shanna's Scottish dancing! They were fantastic. I'll post the video! Last Thursday I was "crook" as they say here, sicker than I have ever been! ...

Okay. So, I've been in New Zealand a whole week! It feels like it must be more than that but the calendar doesn't lie. The past week went in this order. Saturday Sean and I took a day hike around Queenstown. Nice easy trails that were beautiful. On our way back through town we stumbled on a farmers market with live music and had linner (lunch-dinner). Still being tired from my flight I went to bed around four. Later that night I got a txt from Sean inviting me to...
