Gone Fishin'

The big 21st was last night. Bouncy castle and all. Overall it was a total success. The Parkinson family throw a very classy party and never shock us with their hospitality and generosity. Oh, and they can cook a ham like none other. My favorite part of the night might have been after dinner and dessert when we found out that we got to have "supper" next. A bonus round not apparently known or used enough in the states. Its like dinner all over again. Supper, consisted of a giant leg of pork and little buns. Sweet mercy me! Sarah was in Heaven. However...Sarah and I may have gone to bed at 11 while the party wound down into the wee hours of the morning. I blame the ham and little buns. It never shocks me, Sarah's ability to fall asleep in any situation no matter how loud it can be.

Tomorrow we are off fishing for a few days in Karangahake Canyon. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. From what we hear it is a "nice little stream with Big Stinkin fish." My favorite kind. We should be back by Saturday when I get to come back and work with Jaime at her restaurant near the harbor downtown. I apparently get a little excited around La Marzocco Espresso machines. Her boss needed some help, and I wound up with a little work! Should be nice to make a little coffee for a few days.

Love you all.
