notes from the road

MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT MOTUEKA (in no particular order)

1. climbing on the rocks by Kiteriteri Beach; I climbed these big rocks along the coast for about an hour with a guy I meant from Washington state.
2. the view from the top of Mount Aurther… or well, 2/3’s of the way up Mount Aurther
3. the Hogland Glass Store, which had the most amazing hand blown glass on display. I actually considered buying a $500 bowl. Eek.
4. my tractor : )
5. cooking and grocery shopping with Edgar
6. the 25 apples my roommates gave me on my birthday from the pack-house they work at
7. the praise band at the church I was going to

THE WORST THING ABOUT PICTON (where I’ve been for a day and a ½ now)

1. I can’t find work. Everyone tells me they had work a few weeks ago, which would have been when I was here the first time. So that kind of sucks.
