This past week was our opportunity to live with a kiwi family in Christchurch. I stayed with another student from CCSP named Caleb at the home of an older couple. Their names were Joan and Allan and they had lived in New Zealand their entire lives. They have three daughters, 2 of whom are married and are living in California. Caleb and I had an awesome time with Joan and Allan! They cooked us delicious meals and more desserts than we knew what to do with. They also took us shopping and showed us around the city.
On Saturday night Joan and Allan's daughter, Catherine, took Caleb and I to a party at a really cool location. One of her friends had built a gigantic "man cave" that had an entire wall made of plywood painted white and a projector screen shining on it. The back of the cave had stadium seating with theater-style seats. We got to watch an intense game of rugby, but the best part was that when we finished our beer we could throw it as hard as we wanted at the screen and it would shatter!
Caleb and I went windsurfing on Sunday, which was a ton of fun! We got a lesson and 2 hours of windsurfing for a great price! We used wide, beginner boards so that it was easier for us to stay up. We were pretty good by the end of our session!
We are leaving on our spring break trip tomorrow morning already! We will be doing some hiking in a beautiful national park on the north coast of the south island, it should be a blast!
