Here I come

so after continual surfing in raglan for three days i made my day down here to taranaki which is a large outcrop of land based around the volacano mount egmont. the surf here is supposed to be great with 50 diffrent surf spots within an hour of each other. the first night i get here i stayed wiht a family i had met in gisborne and it was real nice to finally settle down a bit in a family atmosphere and see what its liek to live civilized haha. they also had a daughter the same age as my sister with the same name so it brought back tons of mememories. cant wait to see my litlle sissy in costa. hopefully shes still my little sister and not some grown up chick that she wasnt before i left haha i guess being the only child for awhile can get to your head.

last night a camped on the beach and hung out wiht some cool americans i have met and let me mention that they are some of the only cool americans i have met in 6 months haha. either you hardly meet one travelling or you meet one that puts a bad taste in your mouth. after waking up to pissing rain i went back to sleep and actually slept in till about 8 30 which is pretty good in the van. im going to stick around taranaki for a week or so and i am going to do some work on the families far to earn some extra cah to spend in l.a. man its weird to think that in less than a month i will see cars drive on the right side of the road and will prolly eat mcdonalds . sorry for the absence of pictures i have been surfing way to much to do anything else which is a great thing. cheers mattes!!!
