Mags and her friend Carol. The best two old ladies around!A nice perk of going to new countries is the random national holidays we get to enjoy! My first experience with these was Wednesday, or Waitangi Day! We got the day off of school to celebrate the signing of the treaty between the Maoris and the English in 1840. Mags took Stefanie and I to a little town called Riverton. It was a great coastal town with beaches everywhere. We basically spent the day walking around on beaches and picking up beautiful paua shells. It was fun. Mags' good friend Carol came with us too. Stefanie and I had a good laugh about how we spent our day off of school hanging out with two old ladies. :) They are just the best though--and always good for a laugh.
This is Stef and I showing off our big "mussels". Pretty clever, eh? Yeah, it was Stef's idea...Around 3, we were still out on the road in Riverton and Mags' mentioned that it must be high time for afternoon tea. We watched amazed, as she and Carol pulled tea, coffee, drinks, muffins and assorted fruit out of the back of the car. Good news--even when you are away from home, you can enjoy the benefits of afternoon tea. Oh man. It was funny.
