We decided to keep with the theme of freezing in New Zealand and went for a day hike on Fox Glacier. The night before we left it POURED rain so we were a little aprehensive to go, however we woke up to clear skies. We were fitted for crampons before we left and were then bussed to the Glacier. We had a 2 hour hike until we actually got onto the ice. This was the warm part of the day...
We walked on the ice for about 30 minutes and then had lunch. After lunch we were on the ice for another 2 hours. We thought we would be hiking most of the time, however the majority of the time was spent watching our guid cut stairs. We are not sure if she was doing that because she had to, or that she just really liked swinging an ice pick. Needless to say we spent a lot of time standing on the ice, and then it started raining. It sounds like it was not fun, but we laughed a lot and it was pretty neat to be walking on a glacier. We got to climb through several crevasses and go into a few caves. Although we froze it was still a great time.

Adam and Laura,
I love the pic of the seal :) Great job Laura!
I talked to Tony the other day. He's doing great and loves being a daddy. Omg, so remember Felicia from Korea? The girl who went to the other camp? Kat, Barb and I ran into her at a club last night. She recognized me and was like, I know you! lol. All good fun and good times. Michelle is doing well and so is Squeegie Luigi. He dressed up as Borat for Halloween. Priceless. There's a pic of him on my facebook pics from Halloween. lol
Have a very happy new year xoxo
