When I arrived in Auckland Hayley and Karl (the couple I am living with) picked me up from the airport and we drive to their home, and I had a bit of time to unpack. Then Kyle and I drove around to see the area. He took me to Musick Point and we got to climb on the rocks and down by the water. The views were beautiful!

In the distance of these pictures you can see a mountain. That is Rangitoto, it is New Zealand's largest and youngest volcano. I am hoping to get to hike up and around the rim next weekend!
For lunch we ate Subway at Cockle Bay Beach. When ordering at Subway I learned that their bread and meat are different than in the United Stated and they call green peppers capsicum, the lady looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for green pepper, so I pointed. The water at the beach was so clear and again the views were wonderful. The sand was all small broken shells, so I kept my sandals on.
The people I am staying with think I am crazy for wading in the water, as I am wearing shorts and a t-shirt they are wearing long pants and winter coats!
After lunch we went drove around some more, for dinner we picked up Pizza Hut and went to Storm's house (she will be my cooperating teacher while I am here). Laura (the other girl from River Falls) and I along with Hayley and Storm planned out what weekend trips we wanted to do while we are here. I am excited, we are going to be very busy!
