hidden swimming hole
I went on another hike yesterday and discovered some place new. My brother and I decided to try a different hike route up in one of the mountain ranges. It was well traveled but we went off the beaten path which led us through some brush and what we first thought to be a cave ( Read more... ) -
Mountains, Rain, and Rugby
Today is a rainy one here in New Zealand. That makes two in the three weeks I have been in Queenstown. When it rains here it is similar to the US's East Coast; or the South at least. Big rain drops and all day. But thanks to the weatherman I knew it would be rainy so yesterday I went and hiked a mountain to get some activity in. There is a gondola ( Read more... ) -
NZ: 1, Crossing Over

Thinking about getting new glasses but I'm going to wait until I go to the dentis Thursday in case it cost me too much. Maybe I'll get a hair cut too. These are the days of our lives.
