guess where I went today...

my first dive into the genuine new zealand salty ocean waters- woohoo!
all we wanted was to get juanita's mp3 player from elisha, but it turned out that she wanted to go to the beach instead of school- go figure. so we were her accomplices as she "wagged" class and came with us to marawae beach. the girls adjusted me to the water temperature quickly (by dunking me in the water and then throwing sand at me, of course) it was lovely...
the waves were great and i definitely got some good frolicking action in. first time i've ever been to a black sand beach- nice for lying on after you get out of the chilly water!
on the way back home, the girls thought it would be a good idea to let me drive. they may have been rethinking their encouragement as i promptly began to drive on the right hand side of the road. don't worry though, as soon as i figured out that the logging truck was not in my lane but i was actually in his, i moved over. after i finally made it left, i almost hit the ditch on that side. something tells me they will be happy to drive after this.
anyway, that was the adventure du jour.... what are you guys all up to? love to hear from you
till then, love love love to everyone
