National Sport

Today I have posted another photo I took during the All Blacks game. I want to post some photos of Auckland itself, but I haven't been out in the city much with my camera, just in the places around it. Anyway, everywhere I go there are still people talking about how the All Blacks defeated the Wallabies. Despite the fans not being that rowdy during the game, they certainly are spirited afterward.

I went to my first classes yesterday and I really like them so far (I've been to 3 out of 4). I am also getting used to the idea of a four day weekend every week (I don't have classes on Friday or Monday), it leaves so much time to explore.

22-16

I am sorry that I did not post a photo yesterday, but I just did not get around to it. I left pretty early to go on a hike and by the time I got back I was dead tired and just hung out with my roommates. My plan was to post more than one photograph today to make up for the lack of a post yesterday, but ultra slow and weak internet has prevented me from doing so (literally, this is my 11th and last attempt). However, as promised I uploaded a photo of the All Blacks. It was a great game, but the fans were a lot let rowdy that US fans, especially for a national rivalry, so I found that interesting. The All Blacks won though and that's all that matters.

Silver Fern

Tonight I will be attending an All Blacks game, but it's not just any All Blacks, it's an All Blacks vs. Wallabies game (the New Zealand vs. Australia national rugby teams). In honor of that, I decided to post a photo today of a silver fern: the most noticeable of New Zealand's logos and the All Blacks logo. We crossed them everywhere on our hikes in the Coromandel Peninsula, but this one caught our eye because of the sunlight on it. I didn't get as good of a photograph as I would have liked, but I still think it is a pretty cool photo to look at. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have a photograph of the All Blacks game itself .
