holiday!

Most students are out of school for the summer now here in New Zealand, and from what I've heard, not only are the students on holiday, but most of the country is too.  Since this is their summer, and it falls over the Christmas and New Year's holiday, many kiwis take long vacations to other parts of NZ or over to Australia.  For example, after tomorrow, yoga class will be on holiday for a month, and I will be on break from nannying after Christmas through January 20th.  It's quite the extended holiday, and I am nervous that I won't know what to do with myself with such a large amount of time off.  But I think it will be a wonderful way to take in the NZ lifestyle of laid-back relaxation.  And we've got a wonderful mini-vacation of our own planned, so stay tuned!!!
