We've got a friend here name Mark who works in the grocery business. He very kindly used his connections to procure for us two frosty cans of Dr. Pepper. So we grilled up a couple of fat burgers, cracked open our drinks and Pepper cried as we put "Proud to Be An American" on repeat. You see, this is our last night in Mount Maunganui. Tomorrow we head off on a camper van road trip around the South Island for the next 18 days, and then we will board a plane for our motherland. Our time in New Zealand has been really wonderful for us, and now it's time for us to attend our next adventure. We're actually really sad to leave here, and after we listened to "Proud to Be An American" we watched several clips on YouTube of the All Blacks doing the pre-game Haka, which always gives me chills. Getting to know more about Maori culture is one of my favorite things about living here.
Our internet accessibility will be spotty for the next couple weeks, in case anybody wonders why we don't seem to be replying to emails and whatnot. Stay tuned for some more photos, because the South Island on New Zealand is one of the most scenic places in the world, I reckon.
