Waitomo Caves






There are few of the pictures from Blackwater rafting. I stole them from Kar's blog and it doesn't look like she has all of them up. We bought the CD and I don't know who currently has it.

I"m currently in Sydney waiting for the Super Bowl to be over. All of my classmates and professor are watching it and I have no interest. We have to all meet at the Museum of Modern art at 2:30 so I have about 2 hours and then I'm going to go to the bar where they're all at. So far I haven't really seen much of Sydney. We're staying in the World Square area, which is, as far as I can tell, a shopping mall, "Adult-only" stores and tons of sushi and Asian grocery stores. We got in early yesterday and I laid around all day. I was exhausted and it just felt good to be in a room with my own shower/toilet and AC. This afternoon we'll be in the area of the Opera House and we'll be doing some exploring by the waterfront. Hopefully I'll have more to talk about in the next few days. If you haven't checked out Alex's blog (www.awgamble.net) you should, he gives more detail about the scenery.

Hey Sara, Will you tell Alex that I have posted to his blog a few times but it doesn't seem to work for some reason. He's wondering who's reading his blog and I want him to know that I check it every day right after I check yours. Thanks.

Hi Sara, Glad you're getting some R&R -hahaha!
What a trip so far! I would never have thought that New Zealand would have been such a fun place. Interesting little factoids: Half of the 3.9 million people are under the age of 33. Pastures and orchards fuel the economy with 65% of it's farms being under 250 acres. It's last 2 prime ministers have been women.
Your mom was thrilled to talk to you yesterday. She misses your chats so much. Do you know what the coming days hold? How are things looking for your time in Australia? Lots of work and little play?
It's so great to have these updates
Love, EEn

What kind of a United States citizen are you? No interest in the Super Bowl. Are you unpatriotic or what? I'm totally with you on that! By the way, stay out of those adult-only stores. Are you meeting lots of interesting people? Based on some of the books I've read, there are more than a few colorful characters Down Under.

Hey William, Stop giving my girl bad ideas!

Sara, please tell Alex that what ever I post on his blog gives me the message that it's waiting for 'moderation'.
