  Anges, Suzan, Kat, and Keren (far to near) prior to the play called Ladies Night.  Kara was in it (one of our PhD students).  The play was in Orewa, about 3/4 of the way to Auckland.

  Jamie and I at the same event.  Jamie surprised us with his return to NZ so soon, to our knowledge he was still in the UK!

  The stage set up prior to beginging...and prior to any announcements about no photos.


  Kat and Sandra before Sandra's flight home.

  Sandra and I also before she left.

  One of the trees that the shags (a local bird that swims) frequent at Goat Island beach.

  Looking up the hill from my room on a foggy day.

  Looking out at the beach/ocean by the lab.

  Entrance to the Sawmill Cafe.  The Snapper pizza is wonderful!  So are the Kumera chips with aoli sauce! :)
