The view from up high


We have finally moved into the house we'll be renting while we are in Raglan. It is pretty awesome. These are the views from the living room and kitchen. Not bad. A great place to ponder deep thoughts (that is the goal of sabbatical - right?).




We have plenty of room here for visitors so book your tickets to NZ!

Here is what we did yesterday. First, Luna woke up an ate her normal 3-course breakfast: yogurt, toast, and a bowl of muesli - which was followed in about an hour by a huge snack. Someone must be growing....




Our house is about 100 yards from the 'kid beach' (as Luna calls it). We can either walk there (easy), Luna can ride her bike there after dad carries it down the hill (fairly easy), or dad can drag the kayak down so we can paddle over there (not so easy). Yesterday I was feeling masochistic, so we went kayaking.

After all that hard work watching dad paddle against the incoming tide,  Luna took a mini-nap on the beach wrapped in the cuddly warmth of Old Glory.

On the walk back up the hill, Luna wanted to show 'Whitey' (the local goat) her plastic dragon. Immediately after this picture was taken, Whitey decided Luna's hat looked tasty. Whitey is not the most discriminating eater.
