Cosi (our new friend from Germany), Kristen, Erika and I hiked the Queen Charlotte Track. it was grueling but awesome :)

at the bottom of one of those blasted hills on the track. the stuff in front of us would be the ocean. oh yeah :)

this is the vineyard we were working at for a few days in Blenheim. this is me cuttintg the rot out of the grapes before harvest

sunrise at the sheep station, every morning so far has had a gorgeous sunrise like this. it's a good thing to see at six in the freaking morning when you really just want to throttle someone. beauty instead of violence!

yes. those are my chaps :)
