May I introduce to you....Gary. He is my used car! A 1988 (woah, we are twins) Mitsubishi Galant. He looks like a Gary, doesn't he? Anyway, now I have wheels! Watch out, New Zealand! American on the left side of the road. Hehe, it will be fine. I'm taking him in for an oil change on Monday so he will be all set for future road trips and trips to the barn. I'm working on finding a riding barn, and I have two places to call and check on 1) if they offer English hunt seat or similar lessons and 2) price and times. That will get done sometime this weekend.
Today is another Saturday in Dunedin. Went to the farmer's market, bought yummy produce, and I'm headed to the museum for this afternoon.
Now, for the other introduction. My parents got a dog!! Here's Teddy. :)
Isn't he cute? I saw him on Skype. I can't wait to meet him once I get home! He is a 6 year old golden retriever that his previous owner wasn't able to keep because she was moving into a no-pets apartment. My cat Ava apparently wasn't too thrilled, but at least Teddy is used to having cats around. It took Ava a while to like Lady, so I'm sure in time she and Teddy will be good buddies. Awww.
It has been a busy week! Tuesday, Krystle and I had our first OUSA hike on Ross Creek. I wasn't going to go because I was still feeling pretty sick and it was pouring outside, but I went anyway. And I was so glad I did! It stopped raining just as we were getting into the van to go to the trailhead. It was a really beautiful hike up to the reservioir. There we are! I look...pretty sick, actually, but I was so glad I went. There are a bunch of side trails for hiking and running as well, but we didn't have time to do all of those.
Wednesday night was my first Thai cooking class. Oh man, so much tasty food! I'm so happy I signed up for that class. Now I don't have to always go to Thai Orchid at home to get some tasty Thai food. We made spicy soup, sweet and sour spare ribs, stir fried rice, and beef curry. Next week is spring rolls, and other yummy things. Mmm.
