Last Sunday, Chika( a girl from front desk) and I went on a wine tour. We stopped at five different wineries along the way to cromwell and back. Was such a realxing day...didn't have to worry about anything...and got to try a bunch of great wines. Then yesterday I was given agreat opportunity to go out back to Milford Sound, for free. Red Boat (a company out there offereing cruises) were launching a new cruise...the Encounte cruise and I got to go as a rep from the Heritage. They flew us out there in these tiney 6 seater planes....oh my gosh was a little worried...but it all went good. was so fun to fly in them. on the boat had some nibbles and wine and enjoyed the cruise. Was lucky and got to see dolphins again, but did not get any better pictures...but was still an amazing trip...nuthin else is really new...miss you all...hugs and kissesxoxo

THe other day, Ashely and I went horseback riding. was so awesome!!!! Was a great two hour ride through the reese river valley. But let me tell you...riding a horse english style is way different than western. It was like learning to ride a horse all over agian. But so much fun. I was on one of the biggest horses ever. And was the biggest pansey. When we had to cross the river, he did not want to go in...was like fighting every single time. And Ashely, well his name at work is Harry Potter, and he got a hosre named Harry...which i thought was the funniest thing hehe , but the cool thing about his horse was that he was in Lord of the Rings. What else is new with me...well i drove for the first time since I have been here....so crazy...everything is completely opposite of things in Canada. and they have round abouts...not stop signs...what the hell is a round about...well they are not that fun...but is was nice to drive again...any way that is all that is new with me. Miss you all!!!

Well Hello Everyone!!!
Things here are great. Just thought I'd post some new pictures. Greg took me fishing to some great secretative fishing place, but sadly we did not catch anything. The next day we went up to Deer Pak Height. It is some farm that was used alot in the second Lord of the Rings film. There are animals everywhere. You can feed them, so they are used to people that they follow you around, I had a goat trying to eat my pants pocket. You get a map and it tells you where certain parts of the Lord of the Rings was filmed. Well cool. Miss you all!!
