Mother's Day in New Zealand was not Motherless.
Cristina and Robin joined us for the Cadbury factory tour.
Yoga spiritual revelation?, probably not. Did it help us figure our lives out? I have to think so. Tickets have been purchased, plans are starting to be made, and we are getting to a point when we are thinking non-New Zealand travel thoughts. Who would have thought this day would come?
Life in Dunedin, NZ has been amazing. Anna is working the mornings away at a hotel downtown and I've got some hours as a support worker for a 19 year old woman not too far from where we're staying. There is a lot of relaxing and internet-researching too. (Facebook stalking, trip planning, emailing, trying to catch up on some world news we have neglected the past 8 months. EIGHT MONTHS. well thats sure a long time.) We have hit up the Cadbury Chocolate Factory Tour, loved Liam and Audrey, gone on a few driving adventures, we used to try and find Jackie work but have since given up, been to quiz nights, caught up on both Glee and Lost (probably about 25 hours of television catc
h-up), yoga-d enough to hold us over until India, seen a museum or two, Anna has been concentrating most of her efforts toward hair growth, and many nights have been spent bullshitting over wine with the fantastic Colleen and Paul.
Here's a picture of Anna's full head of hair to keep everyone updated.
Miss you all.
Jackie and Anna
Ackie and Janna, and to think all these years of us doing hot yoga and you probably thought we were "puftas" (say with kiwi accent, have no idea how to spell it) yes it is the new definition of WET and just how much you can sweat and it begs the question when your head is upside down and the sweat runs in your nose making it hard to breathe, has any one ever drowned in their own sweat? So proud of you girlies! AJC says you guys will stay with them for a week before leaving NZ...any dates you will be there? Would love to skype you before you depart BUT Olivia, GG and I will be in England for a couple weeks in June. Cristina and I are still going to meet you somewhere, i just don't know where so keep us posted on your plans as much as you can...i also now have this HUGE tuition bill to pay for Santa Clara, thanks Anna :)so the travel budget has been hit hard! Did Ral tell you when we visited SCU it rained like monsoon for 2 days straight? We had to go buy clothes at the bookstore, but i now own a very cool pair of SCU sweats that i have been living in, a walking advertisement:) Love the small bit of hair growth going on..jac, make sure she wears some makeup and jewelry when she goes out in public it will be less sick. 8 months and still going strong..remember to feel the fear and do it anyway as you board that next plane ride to the next adventure...life is good...miss yo both like crazy..love you lots, Stacey (yes David Franic's google account so always looks like HE is posting the comment ..NOT)
