Alright so I have worked every day since last weekend at the University and/or at Sticky Fingers. The University job is super easy and not the most engaging, but at least the other temp workers are all fun to talk to. I just finished on Monday and was super happy to have the entire day off yesterday! We were able to hang out with Ed and Andrea last week a couple of times before they left. The last night they were here (Wednesday), we met them for a drink in Sol Square and ended up spending the rest of our crazy night with a "Stag Party" (aka. Bachelor Party). All of the guys were Kiwi's except the groom to be of course was from Texas! Ha, it was a hilarious night that ended well after 2am. The next day I was dead tired at work, but met up with Joyce and Jon for pizza one more time before we leave. We had some super crazy pizza flavours like The Roast with chicken, gravy and potatoes; and Chicken Tandoori with Indian spices! It was great to get one more glimpse of home which will have to last me a few more months!
The rest of the week went fine and everyone at Sticky Fingers couldn't believe I was leaving. Yesterday Beate and I took the tram around the city and we also took the Gondola up the hill to the lookout over Christchurch. It's amazing how much the hillside looked like Eastern Washington! I'll post the pictures later so you can see. We also went to see "27 Dresses" last night which was super cute! The Academy Awards weren't broadcasted here and I honestly don't know why...they don't have anything else on TV that's better!
So we're almost totally packed and ready to leave Christchurch tomorrow. We have booked two nights in Kaikoura and a whale watching tour on Friday. We'll get to Blenheim on Saturday and start the vineyard work on Monday! We are sooooooo excited!
