Golden Bay Sand and Sun Salutations!

Hi everyone,

 

Firstly I'd like to thank all of you who sent me congratulations on my acceptance to UBC Grad Studies.  It's so nice to know that I have so much support at home, especially being so far away!  Sometimes it feels like I'm all alone on this little blue and green ball of ours, but your messages remind that I am anything but!  Thanks!

 

I spent a wonderful three weeks in Marahau working on Manuka Farm, and what an experience.  It was difficult to leave there, but I'm on to more adventures.  From the farm, I did another 2 day kayak trip into the Abel Tasman National Park..... much less eventful than the Doubtful Sound trip, but beautiful all the same.  The Abel Tasman is a stretch of coastline with golden sand beaches and calm turquoise waters.  Seals and seabirds.  A nice easy two days of paddling and sunshine have me nice and mellow.  Photo uploading is proving to be more difficult than I thought, but I'll get as many up as I can while traveling, and if not then when I return!

 

This evening I'm heading to the Anahata Yoga Retreat in Golden Bay, way up on a mountain overlooking the Abel Tasman, Farewell spit, and panoramic ocean views.  They're off the grid and have composting toilets and strawbale buildings, and their own organic garden, so also sounds like a neat place to be.  As it stands now I'll be there for a week.... but could possibly stay longer if it works out that way.  I don't know if I'll have email or phone access during that time, but feel free to send me messages anyways and I'll respond when I get a chance.

 

Just wanted to let everyone know what was up with me..... here's hoping you are all well and happy!

 

Love,

Kristi
