Hey, I just reposted these photos so if you click on them now, they should come up larger. The Hyundai Surfing Championships are wrapping up today; we had thought about going to St. Clair beach to watch, but by this afternoon, we can barely see the city. Cold, grey, windy and rainy. Up the coast at Christchurch, it was 34 today! We did have some fine days this past week, though, and made it to the Otago Museum, the train station (see outside and interior), and on Friday we went to the Best cafe based on several recommendations from locals for "fosh un chops." Nice! Didn't come in newspaper, but very tasty. Picked up some mutton and kumara this week...mmmm! Visited the farmer's market again. Look at these nice boysenberries, peak season now. Ran into Gill, who picked up a pig 'trotter' for Lucy (pig's foot). Jim declined an offer to taste. Walked to Gill's on Saturday eve for tea with Judy, a very nice history prof from the uni. The walk is through the bush and then straight up to Epsilon Street. If you look closely, you can see the Southern Cross over the city, our nighttime view from the deck. That won't be the view tonight, though. Still raining so it's time for Jim's new Snap card game and maybe a movie. We've decided to rent a car this coming week so we can get out and about.
