Day to Day

Here are some pictures of my life in Franz.  Not a lot of explanation.  Just my day to day life.

I guess working at 7am ain't too bad

Road trip to Hoki

Rainforest rainbow

yin and yang hot coco

We really work hard... sometimes.

More free coco

UNR had live streaming of graduation, so you know I woke up at 3am to watch Emma graduate!!  Congrats Em!

Chicken Broccoli and Kumara Mash

My Swedish friend, Jess, made Flygande Jakob (it means Flying Jacob) for us!  It's banana chicken and it was delicious!  

Night out with Katia and Jess

Woke up the roomie

Met up with Flo and Sean at KT

Winter is here and frost in the morning is becoming all too normal.  I'm praying to wake up one morning to a snowy jungle, but apparently that is super rare.  Even some life long west coasters haven't seen snow in Franz.

Kiki visited one more time before flying home to Canada!  Can't wait to see where this friendship leads us.  We already want to travel Thailand together in September.

Lake Mapourika

Okarito

So sad to see my American "ally" Ally leave!  But it was a great excuse for the whole staff to crack open the Rezzie beers we'd been saving up!

It was also our favorite ageless Asian's birthday.  Happy Day Katie Girl!

The view from the porch of Glacier Base

The view from my desk... seriously

Goodnight moon!

The difference between a fly day and a no fly day...

Good helicopter weather

I made breakfast kabobs for knitting night!  

Thank you Mom, Bren, and Ty, for sending the perfect care package!!

Philosopher's Stone... false

NZ frost

This is an idea of how much rain Franz Josef gets.  It's a CRAZY amount of rain.  This chart says 5100 mm of rain a year, that's 16.7 feet of rain a year!!!

My boss is a control freak, we have to check the bathrooms every half hour and report to him our findings at the end of the day.

But luckily I get to wear this super awesome jacket while checking the toilets
