Go America!

Happy LATE 4th of July USA! It's the 5th here and there are still no signs of American independence. Yesterday was just like any other day and the hills were just as steep. On the walk back to my hotel from getting my morning "flat white" there were people walking toe first down the hill! But I digress. So Paul seems to have enjoyed his first couple of days of work. I've walked him "to school" the past 2 mornings, it's been fun. We found a fabulous short cut through the city's oldest park, the Auckland Domain which is the crater of a very old volcano. It is now a huge beautiful green space containing gardens, trails, cricket fields and the Auckland War Memorial Museum which sits up on the rim overlooking the entire city. Still grinding the pavement finding out where the best spot is to place ourselves for the next year. This city has a lot to offer. Devonport seems to be really neato but it's across the harbor and might be a bit tricky for Paul to get back to the hospital on the rush. Will post a couple of pix - tell me what you think.
