We got the Dell back... so hold onto your horses because it's time for updates! Well, let's see. We left you at Arthur's Pass with our Avalanche Peak hike... from there we went to the cute coastal town of Akaroa. It's the only French colony left and it's adorable! There must be something in the water because the roses bloom like nothing else and it's gorgeous. Josh and I decided to treat ourselves to a little B&B with homemade breakfast that was just too wonderful to pass up. The other nights we stayed in this little hostel cottage with beautiful roses and flowers, a fountain and hammock in the backyard, and the scent of jasmine all around. Just wonderful.
For most of the time we just relaxed. It was wonderful. We strolled into town, walked to and fro, and just took our time. Just lovely. On one of the last days we decided to go swimming with dolphins - the hector dolphins. They're the smallest (only 5 feet long) and rarest dolphins in the world so that was a fun way to end our time there...
Since then we've picked up our friend Emilee and have made our way through the city of Christchurch and are now in Dunedin. Today we made it to the Cadbury Chocolate Factory and Speights Brewery and made ourselves a Thanksgiving feast - chicken, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, and stuffing. Not my dad's world famous stuffing, but it will do. We'll be back tracking with fun videos and pictures since we've missed you the past couple weeks... so keep checking in for a look back at the past couple of weeks... Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving! I love you guys! Glad to see your wonderful faces again.

The beard had to go so the snorkel mask would seal to his face... but he's sworn to me it's not seeing a razor blade until AFTER your wedding... so just be prepared :)
