Earthquake?!?

Apparently two nights ago in New Zealand there was the largest earthquake in eighty years.  But no worries family, I am alive and kicking!  I am not proud to say that I did not even notice the earthquake in the slightest bit.  But, that has been the buzz for the past few days.  

In happier news, today I saw something that I'm sure many of you have never and will never see: 30,000 chocolate balls (in NZ lingo: JAFFAs) roll down the steepest street in the world.  It was a big deal over here in NZ, there were TV stations, radio DJS, rappers performing, free chocolate balls for grabs, ETC.  Overall, it was a great time.  After the race, which was a very intense 30 seconds by the way, a friend and I attempted to climb to the top of the hill.  I probably shouldn't say attempted because we completed the task, but I'm sure my bum will be a little sore tomorrow.  Speaking of tomorrow, I am going on a cruise around the peninsula to see penguins and all sorts of animals and all the good stuff.  So pictures from that soon!  

Sorry friends, but no juicy gossip yet!  I'll keep you posted... :)

Much love,
