According to the calendar, summer has arrived in New Zealand! As the U.S. welcomes winter and the shortest day of the year tomorrow, New Zealand welcomes summer's arrival, and the longest day of the year today. Today boasts 15 hours and 25 minutes of sunshine, supposedly. However, we are still experiencing the cold rain from yesterday, so have yet to see the shining sun (and boy, do I miss it!). The lack of insulation in New Zealand homes has made us feel like we really are having a taste of winter, with of 17 and low of 7 (ok, degrees celsius, like I said, I'm pretending). But it's exciting to think that it will be sunshiny for so much of Christmas!
