First Pictures

Okay, so seriously, why do you guys email me or post on my facebook wall when I got this blog going? You guys are so weird, haha. I mean, email's fine if you guys are expecting an answer or if it's a really long message, but for the most part, I was expecting that people would leave comments on this blog. But it's no biggie, do whatever floats your boat, haha. I do appreciate any comments you guys leave for me though, so thanks.

Sam and I are trying to save money (without starving ourselves to death) so we don't know how often we'll go online (it's about $2.50USD for an hour on the internet). So if you guys write comments or send us email, we can't guarantee how often we'll get to read them or respond (I personally might even forget to respond unless you ask a specific/important question, sorry). And if you guys can help it, please don't send me individual emails if it's not a big deal, only because it's too much for me to deal with, since I want to write in this blog as well to keep everyone updated (I dunno about Sam). We will also have a permanent address within the week so once I post up the address, feel free to send us letters, and I'll definitely respond to those individually.

So I promised pictures, but to be honest, we don't have that much. We haven't done much but to relax and wander around the Auckland Central Business District (CBD). Which by the way, is pretty dirty..

Here's our first meal in Auckland, which unfortunately happened to be a Mickey D's because we were starving and got lost wandering around. They have this breakfast sandwich called the Massive McMuffin, which Sam ordered, and says the US should have as part of their menu.
One thing that didn't occur to me back home is that the plant life is totally different, but that's an obvious "duh!" So of course, the trees and plants they have along the streets and around the squares are totally interesting to me and Sam. I also wanted to take a picture of this really colorful bird, but I lost my chance. (In the first picture, the tree trunk actually twists its way up).

I don't have that many more interesting pictures yet, but we sat at the harbor for awhile. If you guys know me, you know that large bodies of water always do something for me. And there are tons of ferries, cruises, etc etc. I love it!

Our days are very willy-nilly, but it's cool just hanging around with Sam. Oh, and it's like spring here in NZ, so it's been a lot of gray skies and rain the past couple of days. Summer should be coming up soon, but Sam and I both agree that our bodies are craving autumn and winter..
