Flackattack’s Wanderings

Sky Tower From Below

Hi again. I know it has been a while since I made a blog entry, but I hope you have been following along on my trip through the posted pictures and video links at the side. A freaky set of coincidences happened to me in the past two weeks that I thought I would share. First I was in Mt Maunganui, a small beach town on the north side of NZ, east of Auckland, where I met a woman from Florida who grew up in Philadelphia. Turns out she grew up in NE Philly, and went to the same high school-George Washington- as me, only 11 years earlier. It’s a small world right? Yesterday I was in Paihia, a small beach town on the northern peninsula, north of Auckland, where I met a girl from Boston who had been living in Greensboro for the past 4 years. Turns out she just graduated from Guilford College in 2006. Absolutely crazy small world, especially considering how tiny a school Guilford is. Weird but true. I am now down to the final week in NZ before heading back to Aus for another 4-6 weeks. Hope everyone survived winter ok. My tan is pretty good. Check the pictures if you’d like. Howard
