Today (Sunday) I had some work at Carey Park teaching kayaking. They had a church group in for a quick weekend camp. The groups were divided into boys or girls, and were of a variety of ages. Unfortunately, they only had 30 minutes to kayak, though! That is not very much time to get them into life jackets, teach them about paddling, put them in boats and let them paddle! And the schedule got messed up so some groups didn't even get a half an hour! It was a bit crazy, with kids coming and going pretty fast and no break for me. Plus it had just rained really heavily and flooded the river a few days before, so the bank was covered with thick, dark mud. I got mud all over me from lugging kayaks around. Although it was crazy, it was also fun and I had a good time. I was happy to have the work.
After I finished work I came back home, and touched base with my friend Charis who I met at my leading on bolts rock climbing course. I had planned to meet her in town for dinner and then go to church with her. We met up and had Subway and sat outside under a bus shelter eating it. Although it had been lightly raining off and on all day, it wasn't cold and it felt invogorating to be in town at night with the hustle and bustle of people all around. Charis goes to St. Paul's church on Symonds St., which is a beautiful old looking gothic church. I enjoyed the service (especially the singing) and it was great to see Charis again. We talked about doing some tramps together during her school break maybe in the South Island. I can't wait.

How about a picture of the Gothic church? Also, I'd like to see some pictures of downtown Auckland. My impression is that it's not very urban, but that is based only on the pictures you have chosen to share.
