Last night I ran up and down the coast in Golden Bay, NZ, made great friends, big fires, fun music, went rock climbing, bushwalking, made a gigantic mermaid on the beach out of stones, sand and seaweed, I danced with fire in my hands 'til the sun came up, jumped in the clearest natural springs in the world for rebirth, we fished for paua shells with our hands in the ocean then cleaned, cooked and ate them. We watched the sunset on the Tasman Sea and the next morning watched the sunrise on the Pacific Ocean. Dolphins, Seals, Penguins and Sea Lions are on the beaches when I wake up and go for a run. I've had a really spontaneous fall break here in the South Island. We drove north without plans or maps and came back without maps or plans. And as I travel on the weekends and meet people here at Uni, I find the world to be so small. I keep running into the same familiar faces and it's refreshing to feel local here in the otago/canterbury region.
I write you now to send some news from Nelson, for your humor. So, the other morning I was just chillin with friends under the Waitapi bridge in Takaka when a lady came by from the Nelson News and here it goes, ENJOY! (Must copy/paste link for viewing...its hilarious)
