forgot a couple things.. that british girl that we met who travelled around the world with her boyfriend who hopped over to japan.... sounds like a soap... well,, he earned the money to go by using or selling stuff on ebay.. dont know what but he made a bundle.. his friend did too.... he sold roman coins... hmmmmm did a light go off....
and when driving along the beautiful highways signs appear out of the blue.. they are big and a subdued orange so as not to startle too much as what they say is pretty startling... for example.... "your driving too fast" crash....... and "the wait for the ambulance is 30 minutes"... plus others... on the lighter side.. they thank you for being tolerant for waiting for the construction or any delays..
and who could forget the giant hedges... they are about 30 feet high... cut into big hedges.. yes, to shield the wind ... as it blows off ocean or through the valley.... they are awesome...
last but not least,,, the coffee...... they are called.. flat white... and long black.... fb has come to the other side now... he is a flat out flat white.... for now... cause the black puts hair on his hairy chest... it tastes like a double expresso boiled with three tablespoons of turkish coffee... hey wait a minute,, do we know someone who likes this..... mattttttt
no more tidbits.. onto the next day in the life of us........
one more... no traffic lights... sort of say hello at the round out... or excuse me.. nod.. people seem to know when to go... right thru intersections.. no lights... they are all psychics..... and no charges for parking... no meters.. they park at angles... // pretty civilized these kiwis...

hi grammy and gramp! LUZ TOOK US TO THE AQUARIUM ON WEDNESDAY. We went on the rides at Coney Island too. My favorite was the stingray and the eel on the corner and the pizza at the place they have for lunch. Zulema had chicken fingers and french fries and I had pizza. Luz's sister is also a babysitter and she takes care of our friend Bodhi. Bodhi went to the aquarium too. I made a surprise for Mommy today and put it under her pillow. It was a drawing of me looking at fireworks. Today is the 4th of July and we are going to watch the fireworks near the water (even though its rainy and cloudy).
I love you Grammy. Kika.
(she wants to write more but doesn't know what else to say -- we'll write again soon -- we all really enjoy your blog, kika was especially struck by the 30 ft. "up to Casey's windows" hedges). Enjoy!
