Long Week=:)

The week is over and the fun begins! I think that we are going to the markets again in the morning (Matakana, which are world famous here in New Zealand). It is a farmers market that is okay. Lots of stuff that we don't really need. Speaking of stuff we don't need we drank an entire bottle of wine tonight. It is made out of a fruit that I have never heard of before called Feijoa's and it is delicous. I can't wait to try an actual piece of the fruit. I think the growing season is in May, so I've got a while to wait.
Jesse made his chili for supper tonight and it was a hit with everyone. It was actually pretty awesome and a much welcomed departure from the food that we have been eating. Not that it has been bad, as it hasn't, but food that makes you think of home is a great thing. Weirdest thing. Our host hadn't heard of tomato sauce as we described it. The tomato sauce that she has in her cubard is pretty much what we would call ketchup. It was interesting trying to find the ingredients to make the chili as the basic necessities like the sauce were hard to find, disguised as other things. Speaking of calling something by a different name, we are discovering these things daily as there is a couple here from england and a girl from canada. In england, as well as in new zealand, they call a period a 'full stop'.
Hmmmm....The obvious question then is, 'do you call it a full stop com?' Turns out they call it a dot com, same as us.
I think we are going to have a look at that car again tomorow. See if we can get him to lower the price. Jesse has watched a lifetime of 'Wheeler Dealer' and so he should be able to put his skills to use. The weather here today was crappy and it is supposed to be even worse tomorrow. Solid rain. Most of it fell at an angle as it was coming down so hard. I guess it could be worse. Could be snow!!
