Kiara and I finished our first week of school today. (Thursday) Classes seem to be going well and are interesting so far, but first week assessments may be overly premature.
Today, Kiara and I found a small farmer's market that is held on campus every Monday and Thursday. Unfortunately, we didn't have any money on us at the time, so we were only able to marvel at the selection (and amazing prices...a whole pineapple for 1 NZD!) and begin our grocery list for next Monday.
This week Kiara and I were able to experiment with recipes as well. It was nice to be able to cook for ourselves, though we both miss our mom's signature dishes already! More than anything, cooking and cleaning up our mess together provides an additional opportunity to...well...be together. (Snicker all you want.) Kiara and I have both remarked how less stressful school seems (to date) when we don't have to worry about when we will see each other next.
This weekend, we plan on visiting the Otago Museum (One of the top ten things to do in New Zealand, according to one of the guide books we have) and checking out the beach. Needless to say, we expect to have some great pictures which will be posted later.
Hope everyone is doing great back home.

K and C: Besides saying that we're glad (relieved!) that you're finding school not overwhelming yet, I'd like to ask about the terrain, which looks quite forbidding. There's a blackness on the left that appears to be a big hole; is it? Is there water issuing from it? Don't pick on me for my geologic ignorance, please.
How will you get to the Otago Museum - walking distance? Keep on keeping up the good work with communications. Love, Gr. Barb P.S., I'm still hoping/waiting for a list of your classes/schedules.
Hi NZ weekenders! Any culinary discoveries? Don't brag. Do you see much wildlife? The featured landscape seems void of critters. Did you hike (or as NZ say, tramp) it? We are anxious to hear how your weekend adventures develop. Take good care of one another, loved ones.
Thanks for sharing. Love,
Dad
