Surfing and work

---

Surfing was, as Kiwis say it, "sweet as." It was really cold, though. Evan borrowed a wetsuit from the seventeen-year-old who lives here, but he is really tall so it didn't quite fit and work properly. I, on the ither hand, had a t and some shorts. Ivan, the Brazilian, had an extra board that we shared and basically said, "start paddling when you see the wave." It was cool to figure it out for ourselves. Neither of us had a proper ride, but we got up for a few moments. We're bad about bringing our cameras places so no pictures of much. I walked around and took some pics of the family and property.

kitchen help?
Evan - great to see you working in the kitchen again - (maybe you've found your calling after all?!?!) Thanks for the great pictures, looks like an interesting place, have you had any meat pies? Wondering if the hot springs are part of the resort/spa? How far away are they? Mom
