Raglan, New Zealand

Well, I'm finally moving on, or back... moving anyway. I'm headed back up to Auckland for the P-funk show with John and Chris, to guys I've met here at Solscape. From there, I don't know, I may head back down here or elect to see a bit more of NZ. I'm also going to try and see about camping on Little Barrier Island near Auckland but I'm not sure how that'll go. Raglan has been wonderful this past week though, I've been relaxing utterly and enjoying myself thus. I've moved from my campsite on an angle to Jay's vacated spot, situated next to the Voodoo Lounge. Days here consist of generally getting a ride into town at some point, checking the waves and chilling. I've also been earnestly working on an acoustic version of "Mother" by Danzig. I've wanted to hear it for years, and finally decided to learn in myself. So far, so good, though the others here remain skeptical.

It's amazing that March is nearly done. I've been in New Zealand for over a month now, on the road for over six months now, which is more incredible. Looking back, there are so many images, names, faces, memories but at the same time, I can't believe that time has rushed on so quickly, I can still remember that last drink in Boston with Catherine. But, there is also so much still left in front of me. I really don't comprehend the scope of this Trip most of the time, just how long it'll be. Well, baby steps, Bob. There's still a lot of things left here in NZ to see, I'm still planning on seeing the East coast here before dropping to South Island.

Anyway, I've got some lunch to make and also some clothes to launder so that's it for now. Hope everyone's well at home, and don't think I'm not getting fired up for Opening Day.
