South Island Moments

I realized this morning that I didn't do any "moments" of the day on most of this trip, so since I'm sitting at the airport waiting for my flight back to Auckland.

Helpful moment of the visit:  I felt the most helpful on this adventure about 20 minutes ago when I took pictures of five Missionaries that were here for transfers.

Most beautiful moment of the trip:  

  Dunedin- the views from the high twisty road on the Otago Penninsula

  Christchurch- this will sound weird, but as a geography major it was the earthquake damage, especially from the air.

Most exciting moment:  having dinner with Elizabeth one of my AP US History students from Sierra High

Surreal moment: going through Airport security or not having any Airport security to go through and no one checking my ID

Craziest moment:  when we landed at the Dunedin airport and the plane did a 180 turn to drive backup the runway to the terminal.  This is not SEATAC :)
