Sunsets on Springfield...

Yesterday was a busy start to our work week here in ChCh.  Bret and I both had to work, and were super bummed that we couldn't spend time in our new flat!  It was an especially long day, since I had yoga at 6 pm.  Bret accompanied me on the outing, after he finished his work day; the gym is the furthest away on bus than any of our other previous adventures.  The class went really really well.  It felt good to be teaching yoga again.  Surprisingly, I am even sore today!!!  I haven't been sore from teaching yoga in a long time, likely because I was practicing 3 to 5 times a week.  But it is a refreshing sore, and I feel rejuvenated and happy.  While I was teaching, Bret ran some errands in the mall that the gym is located in, picking up some odds and ends for the flat.  All in all, it was a long day, and we didn't make it home until nearly 8!

Ready to relax, and decompress, we were fortunate enough to witness our frist Springfield Road sunset...which served as a gentle reminder to slow down, breathe, and remember what New Zealand (to us) is all about.  While working to embrace the laid back lifestyle, it's hard not to get caught up in all the tiny details.  But then you see natural beauty like the sunset (and the surrounding nature here in NZ) and it helps to let it all melt away!
