a blast from the past

so i am very behind on my blog but wanna get some pics up real quick before i head back to the states...so pardon the half ass-ness :) as well as my french!








jackie (for those of you who sadly are not familiar with my uni friend....we've known each other since we were 18! lived in same dorm freshman yr, roomed together sophomore etc etc) anyhow, jax visited for about 2 weeks and we tiki toured the north island. the first few days we spent over in waiheke, where i showed off my "backpackers" aka the trick's home where i had a king sized bed etc :) from there we headed to Auckland to get organized and meet up with lovely bex and erk (pic #1) then we drove up to russell (where i first worked in NZ). non stop its a 3.5 hr drive, jackie and i managed to do it in about 7.5 hours! pic #2 and 3 is in goat island....where we found some great shells and got soaked by some spray holes in the rocks. these last pics are in russell, the first on tapeka point and the other on our favorite island..heh during low tide this bit of land becomes an island, and we nearly got stuck out there! heh
