Rangitoto

Sunday I went to Rangitoto to climb a volcano!  We took a ferry from Auckland to get to the island.  I can now say I climbed to the top of a volcano.  It was a pretty cool experience.  It was a beautiful hike, but a hard one.  It was so rewarding to get to the top and see the view, which was amazing.  Then it was back home to prepare for another week of teaching.  I am now on week 3 and it is going fast!  Nothing too exciting going on during the week since I am busy making lesson plans, but I can't complain, it has been sunny and in the high 70s and I am able to exercise outside after school! 

Climbing up!

At times it was very steep!

You can see Auckland!

Made it to the top!
