Whirlwind

I have been surprisingly busy this last week and unfortunately bad about updating this blog. The plan is that I will update it more this week and next week to catch up. For now I thought I'd share briefly what I've done.

I went to Bluff, Stewart Island, enjoyed nature, worked a wee bit on a mussel farm, went to Ulva island, rode in some boats, flew on some planes. That was all Monday through Thursday.

Then my intern friend Jordan flew in to Chch. Saturday we rented a car, drove to the CBD, saw the garden and the redzone, including the cathedral. Then we drove to Akaroa. Sunday we watched a building implode and then drove to the New Brighton Pier, Lyttleton, and all around town.

Today (Monday) it's back to work, until Thursday. Friday morning I fly to Auckland, explore the area with a couple of intern friends, and then Fly to LA Saturday evening. I'll arrive in Indianapolis at 8:30 am Sunday morning (Sunday 12:30 am NZ time) and that is less than a week away!

What fun!
