Students, why don't you have another homestay? Maybe this one with a Kiwi family? OK!?! cool!!

The following few posts entitled "homestay:" were written by our very own home-stayers.
This past week, all CCSP SoPac students were placed with real life families from around the greater Auckland area. Surely everyone's experience was unique and meaningful, but the next few posts will be a small, serene glimpse into the experiences of a few lucky CCSP gals.
No names, dates, locations, or words were changed or added to their re-tellings.

Prior to home stay week, we were visited, and are still being visited by a massive, cackling, laughing beast of the air. Native to Australia, we've been graced with the recent presence of a Kookaburra - a large and robust kingfisher, with a long broad bill, and a call that is like none other. It's a real treat to see this bird, which is rarely ever seen in New Zealand. Jen captured this silhouetted photo! Students have also been taking to the out-of-doors lately for their sleeping hours. The cool Waitakere air has been lovely to find rest in. Braving the heavy dew of the morning, many of us spent some moon-lit nights and some mornings as equally heavy with Tui song. Good morning Michelle!! So enjoy the home stay accounts. I'm going to watch "Roger and Me" as part of our Cultural Anthropology course this week. Peace Peace Peace
