My birthday barbeque

Since we were staying at the camp with lots of rock climbers, people of course did some bouldering at the bbq we had for my birthday....it was also tom's birthday, another rock climber at the camp....one of three people there with blonde dreads. Yep, twas fun and full of joy!!!

Hehe!

Well hello there!!! Long time no Takaka!! Actually, it has only been a couple days since I have been to that town in New Zealand, and let me tell you, it was fantastic!! It's an amazing valley on the south island, with lots of hippies and good food and coffee. Amsterdam and I stayed at a rock climbers camp, even though we aren't rock climbers. Actually, I did try it while I was there, and now I love it, and want to continue doing it as much as possible. We met lots of awesome people there, they were a very adventurous group, always people coming and going from all over the world. I met some friends that I will definitely be in contact with in the future. The camp was called Hangdog, and it cost $5 a night, so that's pretty damn cheap. We stayed in a tent for two weeks there, and went on night missions exploring caves. It wasn't long before I realized I definitely needed a headlamp. There were lots of glow worms in the caves, it was awesome, they looked like stars. Let's see what else....it was just so fun, and I hope that everyone that goes to new zealand checks Takaka out. I found out after I went there that Dad has been there before....groovy.
Now we're in wellington, and it's awesome because nick, audrey, nova and scarlet are here! Yay merrily yay!!! Nick's playing the banjo...audrey and scarlet were earlier, and amy and i are doing our disgusting laundry that smells like mold. woohoo!!!! Nova helped me hang it on the line. I am very excited for everyone else to get the hell down here!! yay!! It will be a most awesome wedding, full of loving family and fun....I can't see it any other way. Hmmm....I will be posting pictures in the near future...for some reason I haven't really been keeping up on that...probably because I didn't feel like it. I would rather just enjoy the moment instead of stopping and taking a picture that usually turns out looking unnatural. Oh well!!! I'll take some quick, crappy ones, just to satisfy everyone :). Just kidding, I'll take them really slow and they'll be beautiful. ANYWAY, Nova's telling everyone she loves them.

Okay, I simply MUST be going now. I shall talk to you in the near future and have the best day ever!!!!

Love,
Magnum
