- CREEPIEST travel moment yet!
Piha is a famous beach know for surfing and its black sand.
We took the drive out to the location and found it well worth the trip.
An uncapturable view of the ocean and rolling waves, hundreds of feet below, stole my breath.
Seriously.
All my pictures are vastly underwhelming. There’s no way to capture the size, the mind-blowing size of this beach, the rocks, and the waves.
The big rock in the middle of the beach is known as Te Piha, earning the entire area the name Piha.
The massive monolith of stone just kept getting bigger as we got closer. Can you see my brother, just at the base of it?
Tital caves run up under the ocean-facing side of the rock. We poked around in them for a moment, finding more than I expected.
My brother, with the dim light of his phone, explored further in the cave and brought back the unexpected news of seeing the foot of a dead person.
Leaving no mystery unsolved, we investigated further, with another phone, which shed some good light on the case.
We discovered that what looked like a foot was actually an odd piece of driftwood. What a relief! (Some of us are still having doubts, however.)
Back out of the caves, we walked along the soft sand of the beach, watching and (in some cases) standing in the crashing waves.
It was an incredible experience. The flat beach and the coursing waves, with the massive stones out there in the distance. Oh. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
100% come here if you’re ever in the area!

We found a foot. But no body. - First Impressions of….
Adding another country to the list! - Dragons, church, blood, and a river in Thailand. Our third visit!
If that dragon came to life, I’d be dead. - Historical fantasy with a side of monsters?I’m impressed by this young author!
- Did Indy get an indie haircut?
Indy Wild’s haircut looks so… well… sooo…. Never mind. - My favorite show + crucifixion reenactments.
Hey! I’m SO excited to share my FAVORITE YouTube channel today. This post has been overdue for so long. Travel the Road is a non-profit television series made by two missionaries, Tim Scott and Will Decker, as they trek into the most remote places in the world to share the gospel. Each video is a mixture… - Happy Resurrection Sunday!
Easter is the day that we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from the dead after His having been dead for three days. And aren’t we glad that He has risen!When Jesus returned to life, he defeated death so that now He can offer life to all those who believe. Indy. - God’s art.
THE WORLD IS GOD’S ART. Only, He didn’t have to draw or paint it—He spoke the entire world into existence over a course of 6 epic days. And, after completing His work, the all-powerful God called what He had made “Very good.” (Genesis 1:31) What a glorious, glorious thing to say about the world that we have… - Further into the Flower.
Flower pedals stretch wide, alluring pollinators inward to the heart of the flower, where yellow puffs of pollen snuggle together. If Christianity is a flower, and happiness is pollen…. You can be on the flower, but not deep in—not soaking in. Pray to be drawn, intoxicated by God’s goodness, toward the sweetness that… - Disney and Death.
In the Disney movie Frozen 2, the love-struck Kristoff makes several hilarious attempts to propose to Princess Anna, who can’t get over Kristoff’s, actually-pretty-good opening lines. “Just in case we don’t make it out of here….” Kristoff starts, after covertly slipping the diamond engagement ring from his pocket. “Wait, what? You don’t think we’re going to… - Bathrooms Are Travel Hazards?
I present to you the greatest Don’ts of International Travel, all from personal experience. 1. Don’t be scared of new animals. So many animals are harmless—the trick is just finding out which ones. Though non-venomous, kutri snakes will bite. When handled, a rhinoceros beetle may use its long, black feet to tickle. I was stung by… - 20,000 steps to life.
I jogged along the road, passing a neighbor/acquaintance of mine who was walking his dog. “How are you?” “Tired.” I replied, eager to tell of my feat. “I imagine.” He chuckled. “I’m on my… twelfth mile?” “Holy c***.” He exclaimed. I laughed. Nah, I’m actually feeling pretty good. The soreness of the run was setting in, but…
