On February 25, friends from Pittsburgh visited us at the island. Scott, Deanna, their two kids, and Deanna's mother came over on the ferry. Scott and Deanna were in Auckland at a sustainable engineering conference (How can we get people to use less energy? I don't know, but lets fly thousands of miles to have a conference in the most isolated spot on earth to talk about it!). Their kids (Nate, 4 and Ben, 2) were a delight, and Alexander had a great time playing with them on the beach (though there were some conflicts over use of the waterplane). Our local restaurant, Cat's Tango, did its usual job, informing us after a 40 minute wait that the kitchen is closed for half an hour (at 1:30PM). This beach badly needs a reasonable bar/restaurant!
It was great having Scott and crowd visit: hope we get some more coming out to see us!
