It’s Monday here and Terry’s first day of going into the lab at University of Auckland. That means I will have the whole day to myself. Actually I’m at a bit of a loss, not used to being by myself the entire day and not really having any tasks that need to be done. Well, that’s not entirely true. I do have to run a load of dishes in the little tiny dishwasher. And I do have a load of clothes to put in the wash. Our life here is rather simple. We only have four settings of dishes so I do dishes every other day. We have a washer the plays a little song when the clothes are done. No dryer but I have a drying rack and a heated towel rack. I venture out to catch a tour at the Auckland Art Gallery and then head to the library for free wi-hi.

Today I am going to take a ferry to Devonport to see what there is to see. A 12 minute ferry ride across the harbor lands me at a delightful seaside city. I have packed a book, camera, sunscreen, map and a few odds and ends in my ne
w Camelback backpack. I’m looking forward to the day. When it started raining around 11:30 I decided it was time for lunch. I chose the nearest restaurant and ended up at a breakfast place where I had toasted bagel with salmon and avocado and a cup of tea for $14! Devonpo
rt is a charming city with quaint seaside lodging, all with lush gardens. I climbed to the top of the volcanic cone giving me wonderful views of the harbor as well as nice

benches for me to sit and read my book. Too bad I forgot to recharge the camera’s battery. Oh well, this is one place I definitely want to come back to.
All I can say is AWESOME!!!! It's 54 in Powell and very windy....maybe snow tonight. You're killing me with 70 and going to the beach! I love your blog and can't wait to see what adventures await you. God Bless and have fun exploring!
