First, right after classes were over, I headed down to the bottom of the North Island to spend a few days in Wellington.
Wellington is a beautiful city right on the harbour.
It is known for being the capital of New Zealand, as well as being something of a cultural center. It also holds the nations film industry.
This is a picture of the national museum, Te Papa. I spent a lot of time there...
Ok, after Wellington it was back to the USA. I was back just in time for Thanksgiving in New York City with my family.
This is, of course, Time's Square.
Isaac and Graciana on the Staten Island Ferry.
After the holiday, I spent a few days on my own doing some siteseeing.
This is a view of Manhattan from the Empire State Building.
And, I got to take in a concert! This is me up front to see Norwegian singer-songwriter Sondre Lerche live in concert. He is one of my favorite artists, so it was a real treat so see him live.
By the way, he did all the music for a nice little movie called Dan in Real Life which stars Steve Carrell.
After that I spent Christmas in the Chicago-area as usual. There was some nice snow there, and good times visiting old friends.
And the rest of my time was spent in the LA/OC area as I was working at Biola with my old financial aid buddies.
Some of my favorite people took me to the airport for a final farewell as I headed back to the other side of the world.
Steve, Kimi, Brynne, Bethany, Mike and Wes
I can't believe how much I crammed into such a short amount of time! It seems a shame to gloss over it, but after all, this is a blog for Kiwi adventures... I promise to bring you updates soon about my life here. Thanks for sticking with me for a second year!
