Day 3 in Nelson: walked. Walked a lot. Up and over hills, through different neighborhoods, through town and many shops.
Went back to the church on top of the hill and gave myself a little tour. Beautiful inside. even with the hundreds of churches I have been in, I still love the stain glass, the massive organs, the religious mystery they all seem to possess. I always see if those little doors in corners or down secluded hallways, going into secret rooms, really open. I wait until no one is looking to check, but alas they and the mysteries within are always locked away. Next time.

Tested of a few cars...have to be careful of odometer mischief (winding back 100,000 km), non-working items (the car), and such. Managed to find a decent car pretty quick. I am now the proud owner of a Nissan Lucino. I promptly gave my new friend a name, The Trusty Steed, and we were off! Now to learn to drive on the other side, the wrong side, the left side.

The Trusty Steed and I decided to head out of town and visit the Center for Fine Woodworking, about 13 kilometers outside of Nelson The school is amazing, the instructors are amazing, I felt like it was Christmas and New Years all wrapped up into one knowing I would be a student in just a few short days. Turns out none of the other 6 students are from Nelson. Almost everyone is international, and I am hoping close to my age and want to be friends. I met one student named Leon from Brazil, and hear there is one other lady from Singapore. Can't wait!
