Raglan

/>
Raglan is a beach town 45 minutes West of my campus in Hamilton. Spending the weekend there was such a delight - as one can see, it was beautiful. I was fortunate enough to have my first hitch hiking experience while there as well... Late at night, a friend a I started the walk to our hostel with our thumbs raised high. After being past far too many times, she and I were laughing at our pathetic attempt to hitch hike. Not long after, a car actually pulled off to the side for us! We were so excited. Phil was his name - an artist in his late twenties was so kind and friendly. He got us safely to our hostel where Jen and I were still amazed that that actually just happened!
