It's hard to believe I have spent so much of my life landlocked. The ocean is spectacular- and it's everywhere here. Seashells scattered along the beaches, the crash of the waves- a Great Big Fire with good drinks and great company. What more could I ask for?
I managed to borrow a surf board yesterday and I'll be taking it out for the weekend. I am awful at it... actually I am still at the point where I enter the water talking to myself out loud, "I am not afraid of the ocean, I am not afraid of jellyfish. I am not afraid of the ocean, I am not afraid of what's in it..." Actually I feel a lot better about it now. : )
I have high hopes for getting on the board soon. And if all goes well I'll be in the water when I do it!
Somehow we squeezed a surfboard with four people in that car.
I have fallen in love. Sorry Mom, I'm never coming home. The locals tell me I have probably seen some of the worst of this country and I shouldn't base my opinion on where I've been so far. If these places are ugliest- my obsession with New Zealand's beauty can only get worse.
