Friday. Art Day in town with Mrs. Tuhaka's kids! We even had a tour of the Whangarei Public Library! It is a beautiful building, housing one of a kind New Zealand books in the refridgerated archive room, and all signage is in English, and Maori. Look for the picture I have posted. Before we headed off though I had breakfast on the beach. This is truly a tough gig. Whangarei has wonderful art galleries, and art shops. I was very nervous going into an all glass and ceramic art shop with 10 6 and 7 year olds!! We ended the day at the Town Basin which is a well planned public area along the harbour. It was a long day, but a fun day. No rest for the American guest though, right after school it was out to sea to catch crawfish. Well this is not the crawfish I'm used to in Wisconsin for sure!! In the states these really would be called lobster. The only difference Peter (crawfish diver extraordinaire, school caretaker, and Jakki's husband) is that these do not have the big claws. See the photos!
Returning to land we changed and headed off to the Sports Complex which you have to be a member to go to. We enjoyed a beverage, and the best meal I've had since arriving in NZ! It was a luscious pan fried flounder in a lemon herb sauce, and the presentation was almost to lovely to ruin with a fork! Awesome, awesome day!
