Justin's here!

Yaaaaaaaaaay JLauf is here! We met up by the Te Papa museum yesterday and since then it's been nonstop smiles in Wellington. Except when all the bars were closed. But that was a minor detail, since we were together :)

Today we're going to try to see some sights in Wellington today- the cable cars (compare it to SF!), the observatory, gardens, and actually go into Te Papa (which translates from Maori into 'Our Place'... awwwwwwwww) which is supposed to be a BOMB museum. Also going to reunite with Julia because i LOVE her and she lives in Welly.

We are couchsurfing with this reaaaaally nice girl Emma, who's so incredibly cool and has been allllll over the Americas, and plays music on a record player and has an AMAZING collection of Elton John, Edith Piaf, Beatles, Eric Clapton.... she's just great. And we're on this great hill overlooking Wellington, with really scary narrow streets and cool wooden houses that reminds me a lot of SF. Figures that they would copy us and have cable cars too.

Going to attempt to fix my phone today, as well as get my IRD #, which is the NZ version of a social security number, so I can work on the south island on some vineyards (which has already been set up by my uncle Brady, because he's THE MAN).

Onward in Windy Welly!
