We were once again blessed with amazing weather this weekend. The days are still warm, but it is getting a little bit cooler at night.
We started the weekend early on Saturday. After giving Jeremy a tour of my new office and a quick morning coffee, we stopped by the Auckland Food and Wine Festival. We had a great time! We paid $20 for admission which included a wine glass and an environmentally safe shopping bag. Over the next few hours we enjoyed live music, wine, beer, cheese, sausage, fresh fruit, bread, donuts, and many other delicious things. We were really spoiled with free samples.
After a quick cat nap, we met up with our friends Philip and Anna for a farewell dinner. They are heading back to Sweden today after 18 months in Auckland. Before starting work in Stockholm on May first, they will stop in Dubai, France and southern Sweden. Safe travels!
Today we are just relaxing and watching NCAA basketball. We had daylight savings today, so we are now 16 hours ahead of Boston, rather than 17-18.

Hi! Dad wants to know how the donuts were?? Was the festival right in the Viaduct where the restaurants are? Must have been crazy and FUN!!! Wish we were there! Love Mom and Dad
The festival was great and there were beer vendors, wine, food, and music. It was right in the viaduct right near all the restaurants on the pier. The donuts were great. They were these mini ones...yum yum!
Not only were they mini, but they were warm - fresh out of the oven. Delicious!
