We are finally here!  It's so great to be in New Zealand!  We've been here about a week and have seen almost all of Auckland.  This is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen.  It is surrounded by water with ocean bays, harbours, and rivers.  There are also 48 volcanic "mountain" cones scattered around the city.  There is a huge sailing competition going on right now.  It's called The Louis Vuitton Pacific Series.  We've been all around the city and it's really hilly from the cones - most of our walking is a climb.  :(  But that also makes for gorgeous views from almost anywhere.  This is just a short update to let everyone know we arrived.  More to come! 

Also, we bought a car today!  So we're hitting the road tomorrow to start looking for work.  We have no idea where we're going from Auckland but it should be awesome no matter where in New Zealand!
