Church

---

After last's night beer, wine, chocolate, and jazz, I needed a chill day. (I know, my life is pretty rough!).

So, when Martin said he was going to visit an old cathedral, where the university music students were putting on a free classical concert, I thought I could do the architecture thing, while enjoying some music! And, it turned out to be a beautiful afternoon. I'm definately more of a jazz lover then a Romantic or Baroque fan. However, the last piece was by someone named Rachmaninov, and it was stunning. All the other stuff sounded so painless and pretty. Rachmaninov was just chaotic and intense. I don't know much about classical music, but I loved him. (Taylor, you'll have to tell me more about him when I'm back in Montreal, expand my classical music knowledge!)

After church music, I wanted to do my favorite city activity before heading to the farm: people watching!! We got coffee and watched all the people walk by, making up various exciting scenarios for their lives. We gave them the most exciting encounters we could dream up, but I'm sure their realities would surprise us even more, as if often the case with people!

Then, sadly, Martin and I had to part ways. Him heading north, and me south. Such is it will most of the people in our lives. You can have some of my luck Martin (although I'm sure you don't need it)!

I'll be excommunicato for a while, as I'll probably won't have internet access, but I'll update as soon as I'm back in a city.

Wish me luck working on the farm!

Mmmm...scones
Delicious pieces of sweet, heavy muffing/bread. Not exactly healthy, but very cheap and filling.

Cafe
Favorite activity: people watching at cafes (with scones)...and good company!

I'm so jealous right now!
Hey erin! i just skimmed your blog, glad it's going so well for you over there! looking at that picture of wanaka made me feel so homesick for it, I can't wait to go back there, i miss it soo much! it's so weird reading everything that you've been doing, makes my time over there feel like it was just a few days ago. cambodia's great, i just spent the weekend at this great little riverside town and went on a treck/trip through a national park. I'm excited for the rest of my trip, but a little part of me (ok, right now i BIG part) cant help wishing i was back in wanaka for the ski season! good luck with your new job, DEFINITELY worth missing some school for. I've got a blog on this site too, so if you've got time, check it out: http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/iamaskier/
