Tongariro

I'm off to the Tongariro crossing in a couple hours for the weekend, New Zealand's most famous 1-day hike. It passes through volcano country in the middle of the North Island. I hear there's one of those strangely colored mineral-dense lakes up there near the top of it all. I won't take pictures because that's not my chosen role in life, but Hovig and Peter will! I'll maybe post some pics eventually. Right now I'm hungry for Udon soup, so I'll go get some of that now. I'm skipping work today! Ok, bye!
