the long- awaited pictures... (here's to you rachelle!)

- ocean view from a hill in the coromandel

-waterfall on our hike through the tongariro national park (i beleive there's still active volcanoes around here)

-juanita and i in helensville, eating a pine cone. can't really remember how that came about...

-my backyard in opotiki, bay of plenty

-my stray bus buddies and i doing a hot hood picture after completing our hike through tongariro

so there's a little, tiny taste of what i've been seeing out here.

another random experience: i am now housekeeping staff at my current hostel. i begin in exactly51 minutes. there are 135 people checking out this morning, so there should be lots to do!

i love you all, everybody

peace to you
