Adventures Down Under: Queenstown, New Zealand

'My friends, this is the essence of life'-Maori Proverb My last stop of the day was to Te Puia, a Maori cultural center in Rotura (about two hours from Auckland). Between this and the Waitomo caves, I was able to get a sense of the Maori culture and how intrinsic it is in New Zealand. … Continue reading Adventures Down Under: Te Puia

'Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.'-H.D. Thoreau On my first full day in New Zealand, I left Auckland and headed to the wilderness.

Adventures Down Under: Auckland, New Zealand

July 1, 2019June 2, 2022 / Kelly / Leave a comment

After about a million hours of air travel, I finally arrived in Auckland. Unfortunately, I wasn't in the city for very long...something that will be fixed next time I come because the area is beautiful and as someone has pointed out (repeatedly), I did not go to Hobbiton. I arrived and my shuttle took me … Continue reading Adventures Down Under: Auckland, New Zealand

In talking about Lewis and Clark today in class, shared my love of Cape Disappointment so sharing with you one of my favorite photos!
Was reminiscing with friends about life in the PNW and I do miss views like this one…

‘Gettin' high's easy/Gettin' drunk's fine/It's the gettin' by that'll get us all down/So if you need me/Know that I'm bleeding/Somewhere alone in some coastal town/Some coastal town.’-Z. Bryan
‘Most days in life don't stand out/But life's about those days that will.’-Eric Church
'Life changes in the instant. The ordinary instant.'-Joan Didion
2022 was definitely one for the books and I couldn’t be more grateful! Happy New Year!!!
There are very few things I will wake up for at the crack of dawn to see but a desert sunrise is near the top of the list.
Nothing like a road trip across the American Southwest to provide a bit of clarity and gratitude. And my first with the new Rav4 Hybrid…I can go a long way!
This past week has been truly incredible and good for my soul. Now, where to next…
