Back on US Soil

I am now waiting for my flight back to Albany at the Twin Cities Airport in Minnesota and have been flicking through some of the pictures I took during my time in New Zealand. Really pretty amazing how it seemed like everywhere I went was post-card worthy.

 Hopefully the pictures can do the landscape justice.

Concluding New Zealand Trip

I got back to Sydney yesterday morning after my trip to New Zealand. There will certainly be more pictures forthcoming on the trip as it was difficult to access wifi over there.

On a separate note, I had my last practice yesterday with my summer team the Ryde Hawks which wrapped up a great and fun season with the team. I am going to miss the camaraderie of the team a lot and the comical relief they bring to baseball. While I will be leaving, they had some new players who may be coming in, one of which I bumped into on the bus to the field. Amazingly enough, he is actually from Canada and played his 4 years as a pitcher at RPI, a rival school we play every year and is about 30 minutes from my house. It truly is a small world, as we were recounting the games we had snowed out against each other 2 years ago due to snow.

Today, I am headed south to Hyams Bay with the Garrett family before I depart the country Friday.

I cannot believe how fast time has gone by now that I am at the tail end of my trip.
