Hi fellow travelers! Today I have another guest blogger. Meet Emma and her boyfriend, Liam! Aren't they cute? Jon and I met Emma and Liam while traveling in New Zealand.

It's down by the river near Wat Po and many other temples and popular sites. Spend an afternoon walking around this area - It's so culturally interesting!
