Sunday, April 2
Erin writing: Sunday was a pretty cool day. We decided that everyone needed to find their respective hospitals and that we would go to the zoo. Luckily, everything is within walking distance so we headed out! The zoo was pretty fun. The enclosures are much greener, bigger, and the animals seemed happier. This zoo is pretty cool because a person can pay to feed the red pandas (with the zoo keeper, of course, in the actual enclosure with the pandas crawling all over you!), can feed other animals from a sitting area while the zoo keeper talks about the animals (like a giraffe), and can book a sleepover in the Zoo!! Here are some photos –
After the zoo, we headed off to find the hospitals. We found Abe’s hospital nestled in a neighborhood. It is the only private hospital in Wellington and only houses 60 beds. It looks more like a hotel than a hospital and does not stand out against the skyline like other hospitals within Wellington. After finding Carrie and Rashmi’s hospital, we headed home, prepared a meal and watched a movie!!

OK, so I’m finally caught up! Sounds like you’re having a great time – what’s all that green stuff in the photos? And 10 miles – sounds like you’ll be in good shape for the Colfax run (minus the ice cream, of course). You know me, not much of a source for toilet humor, but you might see if you can verify the myth that things drain in different direction in the southern hemisphere (that would be clockwise, I think).
