well its been a while sorry guys- traveling makes it hard to post- also it costs money to get on the net! AH! anyhoo we have been to some amazing places. there are so many that i just dont know where to start. We went to Rotorua and went kayaking which was awesome! we went to wellington which was a cool city with a cool running trail along the ocean. i did my long run there! Then we went to nelson and hit the beach, and went to kiakoura and hit the beach and went on this cool hike at sunset and saw all kinds of seals and things and it was beautiful! oh and whales and dolphins. sweet as. thats something they say here. its like saying coo. (like sweet as hony, but jsut sweet as. EVERYONE says it!) anyways then we went to some hot springs today in Hamner and now we are in christchurch for a few days. we stay in hostels and backpackkers inns- they are SO fun! AH! and we are going climbing tomorrow. I have met some really fun people here, the group is fun- hard to do things with 40 people, but we deal. BUt dont worry- it hasnt beaten summit yet. i miss that trip the longer i am on this one! strange. anyhoo i am having a blast and its gorgeous here! steep mountains and beautiful blue oceans right next to each other!! SO here they dont HAVE to choose between the beach and the mountains. the South island is awesome and i havent even seen half of it yet!! WAHOO!! i am stoked for 3 and 1/2 more months of this! and we havent even started school yet! it summer and its been warm and sunny the whole time, its great!! getting tan once again, its odd being january though! haha welll i better jet, time is money! miss you guys!!!

mary, I love your up dates. At the same time I hate them...no, hate is to strong of a word, but it makes me wish it was our summit group out there and not some 40 other people. I can't help it...I'm jealous! You guys are having a blast and I'm studying and freezing my butt off. Ok, I really am happy for you though. And I want to keep hearing about your adventures. So I know time is money, but just be aware...blah blah blah, what the heak am I talking about.
Running along the ocean would be gorgeous. I think maybe that's my problem...the hart scenery just doesn't do it for me.
If we could pull it off it would be cool to have a summit reunion this summer or something where we all go on a wicked cool trip...and stay in a backpackers inns.
p.s. I like all the new lingo. sweet as...-peace out!
Hey mare. you'll have to check out my website, i updated it. i will update it more when we know exactly when we are moving and that. wow. i am jealous of your island adventures out there. man it sounds warm, and sunny, and green mountains and blue oceans? its like my mouth is watering... its been really gray and ugly here, and cold too. and its really really boring when its so ugly outside because there isnt much you can do. and we have to pack so thats like ugh.... but anyways. good luck out there scout. take us back there and show us the island. maybe we can buy property out there. im sure theres real estate there. Well im gona go... Love you. have fun!
Hey Mary, Great to read all about your adventures!! Sounds better than Omaha,, imagine that! ITs been super cold here.. like 3degrees and then add the wind chill. and we finally got that snow you wanted! 15 inches of it..but its too cold to do anything in. Arizona is sounding better all the time.
So keep the info comming, us flatlanders like to hear what the rest of the world is really like. and it sounds awesome. Love you, Mean it, MOM
