well, the past few days have been quite eventful.  we finished up our soul-sucking jobs selling ugly towels and duvet covers and valances (don't even get me started on those stupid things), and finally had some time to explore and adventure around Christchurch.  We went to a beach called Taylor's Mistake on Friday with our friend John who is from Canada.  We walked along the coast and saw lots of sheep and beautiful turquoise waters crashing up against lava rocks - you know, typical New Zealand gorgeous.  And, since I have now figured out this whole blogging and picture uploading thing, you can see it!

(Because we don't have enough pictures of the two of us loving each other)

After a while walking along, we stumbled upon a deserted summer village, a

ccessible only by boat (or our path), and it was all miniature and hobbit-sized.  So, we were sketchy and peered into the windows and found miniature beds and chairs and refrigerators inside miniature houses, and dubbed the town Hobbiton.

So, trying to format this post and integrate pictures was incredibly difficult, so I hope you all appreciate it.  You can see more pics on the photoworks site, the link is in the last update. So, I'm going to try another update with pictures again in a bit - there are more stories to tell, and more photos to share, but I can't deal with formatting any more right now.
