Home!

Hey Everybody!   Sorry I have been off the grid!  I finished wwoofing at my last place and just didn't get around a computer!  

So  I finished WWOOFing!  Then back to Christchurch!  I spent the night in Jail and then off to Nelson!  Now don't freak out.  The Jailhouse in Arlington ( a suburb of Christchurch)  has been turned into a backpackers!  It was really cool and really nice.  They call us inmates and you can have a mug shot taken.  It is quite fun.  Anyway I spent one night in Christchurch and then went to Nelson.  

I had two bus tickets left so I picked a destination.  Nelson won becuase there are beaches there with water warm enough to swim!!!!!!!!!  Anyway I spent a weekend in Nelson.  It was really fun and warm.  I had a great time!  I got to ride a train partway to Nelson!  I have never ridden on a train before.  I met some really  nice people as well.  

Anyway I left Nelson on Sunday and went back to Jail for three nights until my flight out today!  My last days in Christchurch were fun.  Sorta!  I spent my first day at the Botanical gardens.  Which are really beautiful!  I also finally figured out how to use the auto picture on my camera, so I got some great pictures of me!  I also went out to a nice dinner as a treat to myself.  I went to the Lone Star Cafe, not related to the one in the States.  It was really good food.  That day was really good.  The next one wasn't really.  I had to go to the city center to buy a stuffed kiwi and while there my crown fell out!  I knew I needed to get it fixed when I got home, but I had to go to a dentist in Christchurch!  Money I wasn't planning on spending, but oh well.  That day was redeemed by a group of us being idiots in the hostel.  We set up my camera with the remote and did sequential pictures!  Just take one, move, take another.  It was quite fun and totally pointless!  

Anyway that is all I did lately.  Right now I am waiting in the Sydney airport for my plane in 3 hours!  Then onto another long flight and an 8 hour layover in Hawaii.  YAY!  Not, because you can't do anything in 8 hours.  Oh well.  

Anyway I will be back in Phoenix at 8 am Phoenix time! on the 25th of March.  So hope to see you all soon!
