Happy birthday Pete

Happy birthday to Petey!

I spent most of the week just getting back into being in Auckland. I walked into town and had a peak around the fanzone again now that it was quieter. They big inflatable rugby ball they have set up was sent all over the world over the last 4 years promoting this world cup and New Zealand. You can go inside and watch a bit of a promotion for NZ. I had a wander inside. The show they put on is quite cool. They show videos and stuff all over NZ and a guy does commentary and then he does a haka for everyone. Really cool.

Pete didn’t want to do much for his birthday so I gave him his present tonight. I think he really liked it. Not sure when he’ll ever get a chance to wear the jersey but atleast it will remind him of me!

I am headed back to Christchurch on Sunday for a few days to see how my favorite city is coping after the earthquakes.
