we had lunch then browsed a used bookstore. we went to check out the vegan flat. it's ok. no, it's better. it's not disgusting. it's a secure building. it's being sublet by a couple of young hippies but they're alright. it's a return to santa cruz if anything. we'll take it!

te papa

we spent the rest of the day walking around te papa. man that place is huge. we finished looking at the 4th floor, which is where we left off last time. then we looked at the exhibits on the 5th floor. i'm not sure if we covered the entire floor. there is still the 6th floor and the gardens. there's also the exhibits that you have to pay to see but i think i'm just fine with the free portions. and of course there's still the gift shop.

in the lobby there were free copies of the weekend edition of the dominion post, the newspaper of wellington. the paper is not free but they're free at the museum for some reason. damn, i like wellington. this place is cool!
