Daniel King is my English Lover.

Where oh where do I begin! I arrived in Nelson on Saturday morning at 5 AM. Tired as hell. Ended up working the entire farmers market with Jennie because she needed the help. We sold out an hour early. While we were there, she gave me a giant bag of plums and wa slike " go give this to the falafel guy, he is giving us lunch" (they trade/bargain all the time, the farmers that is). So she pointed me into the general direction. The falafel ended up being a mysterY! I was walking around saying " falafeeelll guy....where are you!!"???" finally, in this littler car mobile thing I look in---it did not say FALAFEL on the front---and asked if he was the falafel guy. He said yes, i gave him the plums and then he talked to me for about 8-10 minutes on where I was from. Would NOT believe I was from the US because of my skin. DOne and Done...

The farmer next door to jennie and I was SO nice. she grew organic veggies and plants. she gave me these cute little cucumbers called Apple cucumbers---you can basically eat them like an apple. yum. got those for free and an avacado cuz i'm a wwoofer and "i'm helping the cause" as the french farmer said....

GOt some new sunglasses, as I so sadly lost my red ones. they were like my trademark in my pictures, a "where's waldo?" type deal. sad. but oh well. thank god i didn't bring my good glasses. i knew I would lose them.

ate a DISGUSTING sandwich yesterday---it was supposed to be a BLT with avacado but the bacon looked like human flesh off the side of the road and the bread was SOAKED in mayo. gross. I had to push it far away from me and put napkins on top of it as not to throw up.

the hostel i'm stayin at in Nelson is great--"The bug" very clean, BUT, full of all of these German girls! THOUSANDS! I swear. and they all travel together. oh well.

I was THRILLED to not wake up at 8am, put on my gumboots (rubber boots) and pick blueberries. I woke up around 930 and then just laid there for about an hour. awww it felt amazing.

my blog, esthetically, is very boring I have recognized. my friend lindsays is out of control with decor. i am a blog failure.

I SAW THE SADDEST THING YESTERDAY!! ahh was walking home and saw this woman in a parking lot kind of shaking, and realized she was crying and trying to catch her breath. I thought she was in a fight with a man next to her that was leaning into the back of a subaru type car....then I looked closer and they were outside of a vet's office....then I looked even HARDER and realized she had blood all over her hand....then I looked EVEN HARDER HARDER HARDER and realized that a dog was in the back of subaru!!!!!!! it had been hit by a car or something! I almost puked. it was incredibly sad and I wanted to go back and leave a note on their car saying that I hope their dog was ok. I can't imagine....it was just really sad.

FENCES---everyhouse here has a fence (and when I say "here" i mean in new zealand) all around the house. front and back. privacy is suprisingly a big thing here.

on to bigger and better things, like DANIEL KING.

DANIEL KING: when I first booked my first stray tour bus this Daniel called me to make my booking. He is probably in his 20's, from england. I have NO clue what he looks like. BUT, he writes me all the time, and when I write him witha question or anything, he literally writes back within seconds. is so strange. I told him I was picking blueberries, so he wrote me the next day saying that he bought blueberries at the market cuz he was inspired by my picking them. writes me all the time...tells me to come to see him when I get to auckland and he will take me for a drink....but then I have been so annoying with ?'s that now I have to take him to a drink. Maybe we will get married and move to an island. BUT, i facebooked all the daniel Kings and it could be fatal. half of them were 15 with puibic hair curls and gross teeth....humph.

Today was nothing tooooooo special. walked around, went to lunch...and then went a movie---Vicky Christina Barcelona. I tried to watch it on the plane over here, but i was to drugged to understand what was going on. I LOVED IT! ohmigod it was so great. penelope cruz is HOT and i Iloved javier bardem. ahh i cant get enough.

made me realized certain things too---like i would rather die then end up boring, talking about golf and new TV technology type stuff, with a guy wearing a brown belt, tight kacki (sp??) pants, and a gross polo shirt. EW. I hope that is not me.

I have also realized that, of course, when I get home I will get a job and move somewhere...who knows what or where that will be. but, I want to try and travel every year and half for atealst 3 months. my next trip will be to S. America ( I will go witha friend, its to sketch). and I def. want to live somewhere for a year.....who knows.

Anywho, i should go. people need the computer and I am going to make some tea. so hot here though.....

ok, love and miss! cheers!xoxox
