city of sails
aukland is nice, flowering and green. also, new zealanders are nice. (though mostly not flowering or green.) weather kind of chilly; we're wearing our layers. we stay in a little room behind the bamber house. some type of fruit tree by our door. maybe oranges, though no one seems to want to eat them. drinking tea in the mornings. lots of walking about; found the grave of aukland's founder, an ancient cemetery bound by modern streets. searching out cheap and tasty lunches from the carts at the outdoor market or fish&chip stands. we have seen the city from high places: mount eden and the sky tower. mount eden is home to a small herd of cows. sky tower allows tourists to bungee jump from the top.
(trouble with picture posting at the mo, hope to have that sorted out soon.)

sure do enjoy reading about where you are and sending the link of where you are staying is nice to be able to picture it.it seems so interesting a big city yet rural in aspects by cows living so close.

are you all going to do any bungee jumping? apparently that's a big thing all over new zealand. they love it. maybe because they're all upside down and backward, like taigled'ntoft said.

Hey Della and Tyson,
Hope all is well! Time for hats and coats and scarves in Chicago. I'm jealous of your flowering and green pictures!
If you get homesick, we have new pics up on the rec room website from miki's show.
Miss you!
