Here is the entrance to Laidlaw College where we are staying. Isn't it beautiful??



                                               Miriam checking out the glorious flowers.

















Downtown Auckland

Next we went to the top of Mt Eden to have a Kabob picnic while watching the sunset







                                                               
Yeah, that's real

     The Ladies (minus Miriam)
Looks a little too much like Mount Doom







And todayyyyy, we went to this incredible beach.
The locals are so awesome. EVERYONE was at the beach and out in the water. So many different kinds of people, ethnicities, nationalities, languages, accents, speedos.
And as you can see in the picture, there is a ton of grass above the sand, so hundreds of people were just laying on blankets, taking naps, having picnics, reading, or just watching everyone in the water. The people here are so cool! And I was loving the short shorts on guys haha...it's coming back.
We mostly played frisbee and volleyball games in the water. 
Some friendly guys with awesome accents taught us a fun game where you essentially end up slamming each other with a volleyball, but...we didn't argue.
We're all exhausted now and look like little tomatoes because of fair foreign skin.
But tonight we're grilling out with some chicken and corn on the cob, so none of us are complaining. Not sure what the night holds, but a few of us are planning on some kind of ping pong tournament.
It's been a fabulous day!
