First, Susie's house. This has been my main home for the last 6 weeks.

Even though most of my time here is spent reading, drawing, doing yoga, taking walks, baking muffins, and watching bad TV with Susie, the most exciting parts have been the trips to the ocean, both to Waikanae and Taranaki. This is when I see the parts of New Zealand that are really classic, and which I hope to see more of as I start to travel here.

That's it for now, dearies. Oh, and I'll leave you with some of my favorite sayings here.
"Sorted." = okay, that's fine
"Mean." = sweet, cool
"Heaps." = as in, 'love you heaps'
"Sweet as." --You can put 'as' on the end of anything. 'Cold as.' 'Sunny as.' 'Tasty as.'
Enjoy! I'll update as soon as I have more exciting things to share. I miss everyone!
