After test drives of different cars, and of our left side of the road driving skills, we settled on a blue(?), green(?), greyish blue(?) Toyota Sprinter to get us around this lovely country. We are currently accepting suggestions for the car's name. We are thinking it should be a man's name since, as Jackie correctly pointed out, it should be a male car "because we need a man in our lives." Keep in mind this name must start with an S as the model of the car is a Sprinter.
Look how excited we are to be driving our very own vehicle. Its hard to see in the picture but the fun meter is approaching dangerous levels of fun!The past couple days have been spent getting settled and pulling our new New Zealand lives together. We have been exploring our neighborhood, discovering hidden beaches, wandering through nearby Devonport and Takapuna, and crashing random kids' karaoke parties in the city (no we do not make this stuff up).

A view of the volcano we climbed last week...Oh also, we preformed minor surgery to remove the stitches from Alissa's biospsy this last weekend.
Jackie and I have work tonight wooo. I have no idea what I'm getting myself into but my theme for the day is fake it till you make it.Sending you all lots of kiwi love,
Anna, Jackie, and Alissa
I'm so glad to hear that your having fun. It sounds like your doing a ton. Take more photos!! What do the lava caves look like inside. 7days is like the Soup, no? Way to score tickets. Tell me more about the city. What do the street signs look like? Do locals do anything that is really annoyoing but a cultural norm? I miss you terribly and wish I was there to atleast pull out your stiches.
